Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on
Check that the mains power is switched on. Verify all wire connections in the terminal block are secure. Ensure the GU10 bulb is correctly seated in the lampholder and is functional.
Flickering light
This can be due to a loose bulb or poor connection. Turn off power, remove and re-seat the bulb. Check terminal block connections. If using LED bulbs, ensure compatibility with your mains dimmer switch if applicable.
Fitting feels loose in the ceiling
Turn off power. Ensure the metal spring clips are properly engaged against the ceiling material. If the ceiling material is compromised, further support may be needed.
