If you encounter any issues with your light kit, please refer to the following troubleshooting tips:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |

| Some lights are dim or flickering. | Low battery, loose connection, damaged cable. | Replace batteries or switch to USB power. Check cable connections. Inspect cables for visible damage. |
