Troubleshooting

Bulb does not turn on

Ensure the bulb is screwed in securely. Check that the lamp is plugged in and the power switch is on. Verify the E27 socket is functional by testing with another bulb. Confirm the dimmer switch is set to an 'on' position or that the fixture is not set to a non-dimmable circuit.

Bulb flickers or dims intermittently

Check for a loose connection in the E27 socket or lamp wiring. Ensure the bulb is compatible with your dimmer switch; some LED bulbs are not compatible with older dimmer types. If the issue persists, the bulb may be faulty.
