Maintenance
MaxLite A19 LED bulbs are designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. However, a few simple practices can ensure their continued performance:
- Cleaning: Ensure the bulb is cool and the power is off before cleaning. Wipe the bulb with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Handling: Handle the bulb by its base, not the glass or plastic dome, to avoid transferring oils or damaging the surface.
- Storage: If storing bulbs, keep them in their original packaging in a cool, dry place.
No user-serviceable parts are inside the bulb. Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the bulb.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your MaxLite A19 LED bulb, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
Bulb Does Not Light Up
- Check Power: Ensure the light switch is in the "ON" position and that the circuit breaker for the fixture has not tripped.
- Secure Connection: Turn off the power, then carefully re-screw the bulb into the socket to ensure a proper electrical connection.
- Test in Another Fixture: Try the bulb in a different, known-working fixture to determine if the issue is with the bulb or the original fixture.
Flickering or Inconsistent Light
- Dimmer Compatibility: If using a dimmer, ensure it is an LED-compatible dimmer switch. Older incandescent-only dimmers may cause flickering.
- Loose Connection: Turn off power and check if the bulb is securely screwed into the socket.
- Circuit Overload: Ensure the circuit is not overloaded with too many devices.
Light is Too Dim or Too Bright
- Dimmer Adjustment: If using a dimmer, adjust it to your desired brightness level.
- Color Temperature: Note that this bulb provides 2700K Soft White light. If you desire a different light appearance (e.g., brighter white), consider a bulb with a higher Kelvin rating.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please refer to the Warranty & Support section for further assistance.
