Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on
Ensure the lamp is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check that the light bulb is screwed in correctly and is not burnt out. Verify the power switch on the lamp (if applicable) is in the 'on' position.

Check and tighten the ball connectors. If the issue persists, the internal tension may need adjustment; consult the manufacturer's detailed manual or contact support.
