Troubleshooting
Bulb does not turn on
Ensure the light switch is on and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Verify the bulb is securely screwed into the E27 socket. Test the fixture with a known working bulb. If the issue persists, the bulb may be faulty or the fixture may have a problem.
Bulb flickers
This can occur if the bulb is used with a dimmer switch that is not compatible. Ensure the bulb is only used in fixtures with a standard on/off switch. If flickering occurs in a standard fixture, try reseating the bulb or test in another fixture.
Reduced brightness over time
While LED bulbs maintain brightness well, ensure the fixture is not overheating the bulb, especially if enclosed. Check for adequate ventilation around the fixture. Ensure the bulb is not nearing the end of its rated lifespan.
