To achieve dimming functionality, you must use dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. The light fixture itself is designed to be dimmable when paired with the correct components.

Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on.
Ensure the power is on at the mains. Check that the bulbs are correctly installed and not burnt out. Verify all wiring connections are secure. If problems persist, consult a qualified electrician.
Light flickers or dims inconsistently.
This may be due to the bulb type. Ensure you are using compatible bulbs (LED, dimmable if dimming). If using a dimmable bulb, check that the dimmer switch is compatible and functioning correctly. Try a different bulb.
Smart bulb is not responsive.
Ensure the smart bulb itself is functioning correctly and paired with your smart home system. Verify the wall light is receiving power. Consult the smart bulb manufacturer's troubleshooting guide.
