7. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your downlight, refer to the following table for common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power to the fixture; loose wiring; faulty switch or circuit breaker. | Check circuit breaker and wall switch. Verify all wiring connections are secure. Consult a qualified electrician if the issue persists. |
| Light flickers or dims improperly. | Incompatible dimmer; loose wiring; electrical interference. | Ensure you are using an LED-compatible dimmer. Check wiring connections. Try the light on a non-dimmed circuit to isolate the problem. |
| Color temperature does not change. | Switch not fully engaged; internal issue. | Ensure the slide switch on the external driver is firmly set to one of the Kelvin options. If the problem persists, contact customer support. |
| Light is too bright or too dim. | Dimmer setting; incorrect color temperature for preference. | Adjust the dimmer to your preferred brightness. Experiment with different color temperature settings to find the desired ambiance. |
