Troubleshooting

Dimmer switch doesn't turn on.

Check the circuit breaker and ensure the power supply is on. Verify the wiring connections following the installation guide.

Bulbs flicker or don't dim properly.

Ensure the bulbs are compatible with the dimmer switch and within the specified wattage range. Check for loose connections at the bulb or switch terminals.
