Setup and Installation

The enwant G12 LED Light Bulb features a standard G12 base for easy installation. Please follow these steps:

1. Verify Compatibility: Before purchasing and installing, ensure your light fixture has a G12 base. The distance between the two pins of a G12 bulb is 12mm.
2. Power Off: Turn off the power supply to the fixture at the circuit breaker to prevent electrical shock.
3. Remove Old Bulb: Carefully remove the existing G12 metal halide bulb from the fixture. Allow it to cool if it was recently in use.
4. Bypass Ballast: For fixtures previously using metal halide bulbs, it is crucial to remove or bypass the electronic ballast before installing the LED bulb. Consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure how to perform this step.
5. Install LED Bulb: Insert the enwant G12 LED bulb into the G12 base of the fixture. Ensure the pins are properly aligned and the bulb is securely seated.
6. Restore Power: Once the bulb is securely installed and the ballast is bypassed (if applicable), restore power to the fixture.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your enwant G12 LED Light Bulb, consider the following:

  • Test the bulb in another compatible fixture if available.
• Bulb flickers:
  • Ensure the bulb is not connected to a dimmer switch, as this bulb is not dimmable.
  • Check for loose connections in the fixture or wiring.
  • Confirm the ballast has been bypassed.
• Bulb is too dim:
  • Verify the power supply voltage is within the specified range (AC85~265V).
  • Ensure the bulb is clean and free from obstructions.
