7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your maylit LED light bar, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light bar does not turn on. | No power, loose connection, faulty switch. | Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure all connections between light bars and the power cord are firm. Verify the inline switch is in the 'ON' position. |
| Light bar falls off after installation. | Inadequate adhesive, improper surface preparation. | Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and smooth before applying adhesive pads. For a more secure installation, use the provided screws and mounting clips. Consider using stronger adhesive if needed. |
| Light appears too yellow or not bright enough. | Product is Warm White (2700K), expectation of cooler white. | This model provides a warm white light (2700 Kelvin), which has a yellowish hue compared to cooler white lights. This is an intended feature of the product. |
| Need to power multiple light bars in different locations. | Only one power cord included per multi-pack. | The multi-packs typically include one power cord for all linked light bars. If you require separate power for light bars in different areas, additional power cords may need to be purchased separately. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact maylit customer support.
