7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power supply; loose connection; faulty switch. | Check if the power cord is securely plugged in. Verify the power outlet is functional. Ensure the ON/OFF switch (if applicable) is in the 'ON' position. Check circuit breaker. |
| Light flickers. | Loose connection; incompatible dimmer (not designed for dimming); power fluctuations. | Check all electrical connections. Ensure the fixture is not connected to an incompatible dimmer switch. If power fluctuations are suspected, consult an electrician. |
| Reduced brightness. | Dust accumulation; aging LEDs. | Clean the fixture with a soft cloth. While LEDs have a long lifespan, gradual degradation over many years is normal. |
| Only some linked lights are working. | Faulty connecting cable or small connector; loose connection between fixtures. | Check the connections between each linked fixture. Test connecting cables individually if possible. |
