Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on
Check that the power supply is on and the circuit breaker has not tripped. Verify the bulb is correctly installed and functioning. Ensure all electrical connections are secure. Consult a qualified electrician if the problem persists.
Flickering light
This could indicate a loose bulb or connection. Turn off power, check bulb seating and electrical connections. If the issue continues, the bulb may need replacing or there may be an issue with the wiring.
Condensation inside the glass
While the IP54 rating offers protection, minor condensation can occur in humid conditions. Ensure the glass and guard are securely fastened. If significant water ingress is suspected, check seals and cable gland.
