Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Ensure the power is on at the mains. Check that the bulb is correctly screwed in and not burnt out. Verify all wiring connections are secure.

This usually indicates an issue with the dimmer switch. Ensure you are using a compatible dimmer and bulb. Check for loose wiring connections to the dimmer.
