Common Troubleshooting

We've got you covered! Our troubleshooting section is here to shed some light and provide you with easy-to-follow solutions for any problem.

If you still need assistance, feel free to contact Sunco. Their team of lighting experts are happy to help brighten your day.

Installation Issues

• Light isn't turning on: Double-check if the fixture is properly connected and the circuit breaker hasn't been tripped.
• Light unexpectedly fails: For further assistance, reach out to customer support.

Dimming Issues

• Light not dimming to lowest setting: Ensure the minimum dimmer load requirement is met.
• Light not dimming smoothly: Verify dimmer compatibility with the fixture.
• Light not compatible with dimmer switch: Check light-dimmer compatibility.

Flickering Issues

• Light is flickering when turning on: Check that fixture wiring connections are secure.
• Light flickering with other lights on the same circuit: Check that the lights on the same circuit are not overloading the circuit.
• Light flickering when turned on: Verify fixture compatibility and that it is grounded.
• Light flickering when dimmed: Verify dimmer switch compatibility.

Buzzing Issues

• Fixture buzzing with power outages: Verify the light is connected to a surge protector securely.
• Fixture buzzing with appliances or electronic devices: Look for nearby interferences that can cause buzzing, such as televisions, radios, computers, etc.
• Fixture buzzing when dimmed: Verify dimmer switch compatibility.

Light Distribution Angle

Lighting distribution angle refers to the spread of light emitted from a light source. It is an important factor when selecting a fixture or bulb, as it affects how it will illuminate an area.

There are two main types of lighting distribution angles:

• Symmetric lighting distribution: Emits light evenly in all directions, creating a cone-shaped pattern that provides a pool of light. Ideal for general lighting and illuminating large areas. Common applications include general area illumination, security lighting, and perimeter lighting.
• Asymmetric lighting distribution (beam angle): Creates a pattern that focuses light in a specific direction. Ideal for task lighting as it reduces glare and light spill. Common applications include task lighting in spaces like landscape settings, retail stores, and museums.

The lighting distribution angle can also be affected by factors such as the reflector design, the type of lens used, and the distance between the light source and the illuminated surface.

Diagram Description: The document includes a polar plot showing the average beam angle (50%) as 114.2 degrees, with specific readings for C0/180 (114.5°) and C90/270 (114.0°). The text notes that this page can be skipped if not interested in technical details.
