4. Installation Guide
4.1 Before Installation
- Ensure the power to the fixture is turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box.

4.2 Installation Steps
- Carefully remove the old G9 bulb from the fixture by pulling it straight out. Avoid twisting.
- Align the two pins of the new ALIDE G9 LED bulb with the holes in the G9 socket.
- Gently push the bulb straight into the socket until it is firmly seated. Do not force the bulb, as this may damage the pins or the socket.
- Once the bulb is securely in place, restore power to the fixture.
- Test the bulb by turning on the light switch.
5. Operating Instructions
These ALIDE G9 LED bulbs are designed for simple operation in standard on/off light fixtures.
- To turn the light on, activate the wall switch or fixture switch.
- To turn the light off, deactivate the wall switch or fixture switch.
- Important: As these bulbs are non-dimmable, they will operate at full brightness when power is supplied. Do not attempt to use them with dimmer switches.

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bulb does not light up. | No power to the fixture, bulb not properly seated, or bulb is faulty. | Check power supply and circuit breaker. Ensure bulb is fully inserted into the socket. If problem persists, replace with a new bulb. |
| Bulb flickers. | Used with a dimmer switch, unstable power supply, or loose connection. | Ensure the bulb is not connected to a dimmer switch. Check for loose connections in the fixture. Verify stable power supply. |
| Bulb is too dim or too bright. | Incorrect wattage or lumen output selected for application. | Ensure the chosen bulb's specifications (5W, 550LM) meet your lighting requirements. These bulbs are non-dimmable and operate at full brightness. |
