7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your GREENIC Gooseneck UV Lamp, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lamp does not turn on. | No power from USB source; USB cable or switch faulty; Lamp LED failure. | Ensure USB power source is active. Try a different USB port or adapter. Check if the in-line switch is in the 'ON' position. If still not working, contact customer support. |
| Gooseneck does not hold position. | Improper adjustment; Excessive weight on lamp head (unlikely for this product). | Ensure the gooseneck is bent into a stable shape. For optimal stability, create a curve or coil in the gooseneck rather than a straight extension. |
| Lamp head gets too hot. | Normal operation; Prolonged use. | This is normal for LED lamps. Avoid touching the lamp head during and immediately after use. Ensure adequate ventilation. If heat is excessive or causes discomfort, discontinue use and contact support. |
| Light output seems weak. | Dirty lamp head; Inadequate power supply. | Clean the lamp head with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure the USB power source provides sufficient current (e.g., a dedicated wall adapter rather than a low-power computer port). |
