Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Ensure the power supply is on and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Verify the bulb is correctly screwed in and is not burnt out. Check all wiring connections as per the installation manual.

Flickering light

This could indicate a loose bulb or a problem with the bulb itself. Try tightening the bulb or replacing it with a new one. If the issue persists, check the wiring connections.

Uneven light diffusion

Ensure the bulb is centered within the shade and that the shade is clean. Minor variations can occur due to the handmade nature of the bone china.
