- 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.
