Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on.

Cannot adjust brightness or colour temperature.
Ensure the light is powered on. Press the rotary dial to cycle through the adjustment modes (brightness/colour temperature). Make sure the dial is functioning correctly; if damaged, contact support.
Light flickers during use.
This can sometimes occur with low battery levels or if the power source is unstable during charging. Ensure the battery is adequately charged or try a different charging setup. If the issue persists, the LED module might be faulty.
