Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on
Ensure the fixture is correctly wired and the circuit breaker is engaged. Check that the bulb is properly seated and functional. If issues persist, consult an electrician.
Flickering light
This could indicate a loose bulb connection or an issue with the wiring. Ensure the bulb is screwed in tightly. If the problem continues, contact a qualified electrician.
