Troubleshooting
Downlight does not turn on
Check that the power supply is switched on at the mains. Verify all wiring connections are secure and correct for 240V AC 50Hz. Ensure the circuit breaker has not tripped.
Flickering light
If dimmable, ensure you are using a compatible LED dimmer switch. Test with a non-dimmed circuit to rule out dimmer issues. Check wiring connections for looseness.
