FAQs
What type of bulbs should I use with the Paulmann Sheela system?
You need bulbs with a GU5.3 fitting. LED bulbs are recommended for energy efficiency and longevity. Each bulb should not exceed 10W.
Can I mount this system on a sloping ceiling?
Yes, the Sheela cable system is designed to be flexible and can be mounted on ceilings, walls, or sloping roofs.
Are the bulbs included with the product?
No, the bulbs are not included. You will need to purchase five GU5.3 compatible bulbs separately.
How do I make the lights dimmable?
To achieve dimming functionality, you must use dimmable GU5.3 LED bulbs and install a compatible dimmer switch that is rated for low-voltage systems.
What is the maximum power the transformer can handle?
The transformer has a maximum capacity of 60 VA. Ensure the total wattage of your installed bulbs does not exceed this limit, especially when adding accessories.
Can I add more lights to the system?
Yes, the Sheela series allows for individual spots and accessories to be added. However, you must ensure that the total load does not exceed the transformer's maximum capacity.
What is the warranty period for this product?
> Info needed: Warranty details are not provided in the product information.
Troubleshooting
Light not turning on
Check if the power supply is on and if the transformer is correctly connected. Ensure bulbs are properly seated in their sockets and are functional. Verify that the main power switch is on.
Some lights not working
Replace the bulb in the non-functioning head. Check the connection of that specific light head to the cable system. If multiple lights fail, check the transformer output and bulb compatibility.
Flickering lights
This can indicate a loose bulb connection or an issue with the dimmer compatibility. Ensure bulbs are screwed in tightly and try a different set of compatible dimmable bulbs. Check the dimmer switch itself.
Dim lights even when switched to full
Verify that the installed bulbs are not already low-wattage or inherently dim. Ensure the dimmer switch is set to its maximum setting. Check if the total wattage of the bulbs exceeds the transformer's maximum load capacity.
