Troubleshooting
Bulb does not light up
Ensure the power is on. Check that the bulb is correctly and firmly seated in the G9 socket. Verify the fixture is functional by testing with another known working bulb. If dimming, ensure the dimmer switch is compatible with LED bulbs and set to an appropriate level.
Bulb flickers when dimming
This usually indicates incompatibility between the bulb and the dimmer switch. Ensure your dimmer switch is rated for LED bulbs and consult the dimmer manufacturer's specifications for compatibility with G9 LED bulbs. Try a different compatible LED dimmer.
Reduced brightness or inconsistent light
Check for overheating, which can occur if the bulb is in a poorly ventilated fixture. Ensure the bulb is clean. If the issue persists, the bulb may be nearing the end of its lifespan or there might be an issue with the power supply.
