Troubleshooting
Downlight does not turn on.
Check that the power supply is on and that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Ensure the GU10 bulb is correctly seated in the lampholder and is functional. Verify all wiring connections are secure.
Flickering light.
This may be due to a loose bulb or connection. Turn off power, remove and re-insert the GU10 bulb firmly. Check wiring connections. If the issue persists, try a different GU10 bulb.
Downlight feels warm.
Some warmth is normal during operation, especially with higher wattage bulbs. Ensure the bulb wattage does not exceed the 35W maximum. Make sure there is adequate ventilation around the fitting as per installation guidelines.
Difficulty fitting into ceiling.
Verify the ceiling cut-out size matches the 72mm specification. If the ceiling material is thicker than 30mm, adjust the spring clips to their 45mm setting. Ensure no obstructions are present in the ceiling cavity.
