Troubleshooting

Downlight does not turn on

Check that the power supply is on at the mains. Ensure the bulb is correctly seated in its fitting and is not burnt out. Verify all wiring connections are secure and correct.

Tilt mechanism is stiff or won't hold position

Ensure no obstructions are preventing movement. If the issue persists, contact the manufacturer for support, as this may indicate a mechanical fault.

Light flickers

This could be due to a loose bulb or connection, or a faulty bulb. Try reseating the bulb or replacing it with a new, compatible one. Check wiring connections.

Fire rating integrity questioned

Ensure installation was performed by a qualified electrician following all manufacturer guidelines and local building codes. Do not modify the fitting.
