Troubleshooting

Lamp does not light up

Check that the power supply is on and the bulb is correctly seated in the R7s socket. Verify the circuit breaker hasn't tripped.

Flickering light

Ensure the bulb is fully inserted. If dimmable, check the compatibility of the dimmer switch with the halogen lamp. A loose connection in the fixture can also cause flickering.

Reduced lifespan

Avoid touching the glass with bare hands during installation. Ensure the fixture is well-ventilated to prevent overheating, which can shorten lamp life.

Lamp breaks during installation

Handle with care, especially when inserting into the socket. Ensure you are not forcing the lamp into the fitting. If the lamp breaks, turn off power immediately and carefully clean up any glass fragments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the power to the light fixture is turned OFF.
  2. Carefully remove the old halogen bulb from the R7s socket.
