Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Ensure the bulb is cool and power is off before cleaning. Wipe the bulb with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.

Troubleshooting

  • Bulb Does Not Light Up:
    • Check that the power to the fixture is on at the circuit breaker.
    • Ensure the bulb is securely screwed into the E26 socket.
    • Test the bulb in a known working fixture to rule out a faulty bulb.
    • Verify the fixture itself is operational by testing with another known working bulb.
  • Flickering or Dim Light:
    • Confirm the bulb is not being used with an incompatible dimmer switch.
    • Check for loose connections in the fixture or wiring.
    • Ensure the bulb is receiving the correct voltage (100-120 Volts AC, 60 Hertz).
