Troubleshooting
- Fan Noise: The built-in fan operates to cool the unit. In silent mode, the fan noise is reduced, but so is the light's power output. If fan noise becomes excessively loud or unusual, ensure proper ventilation around the unit.
- App Connectivity Issues: If the SmallGoGo App loses connection with the light, try the following steps:
- Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device.
- Restart the SmallGoGo App.
- If issues persist, remove the light from the app and re-pair it.
- Light Output Reduction: If the light output seems lower than expected, check if the silent cooling mode is active. Deactivating silent mode will restore full power.
