7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your LEDinestra tube, refer to the following table:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lamp does not light up. | No power to the fixture, lamp not properly seated, or lamp failure. | Check circuit breaker. Ensure lamp is fully inserted into the S14d base. If still not working, the lamp may need replacement. |
| Lamp flickers or hums. | Incompatible dimmer, loose connection, or voltage fluctuations. | Ensure your dimmer is compatible (check www.ledvance.com/dim). Check for loose connections. Consult an electrician if voltage issues are suspected. |
| Lamp does not dim properly. | Incompatible dimmer or dimmer setting issues. | Verify dimmer compatibility. Some dimmers require a minimum load; ensure enough LED lamps are connected. |
| Light output is lower than expected. | Dust accumulation or lamp nearing end of life. | Clean the lamp surface. If the lamp is old, consider replacement. |
