Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Check that the power supply is connected correctly and the circuit breaker is on. Verify all wiring connections are secure. Ensure the light switch or dimmer is in the 'on' position.

Flickering light

This is often related to the dimmer switch. Ensure you are using a compatible dimmer and that it is set within the appropriate load range. Try a different compatible dimmer if the issue persists.

Light does not change color temperature

Ensure the CCT switch is accessible and firmly set to the desired position. If the switch is difficult to move, do not force it and consult the manual or an electrician.

Dimming is not smooth or has limited range

Verify compatibility with your dimmer switch. Some LED dimmers require a minimum load or specific LED-compatible designs. Consult the product's specifications for recommended dimmer types.
