Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Verify that the power is switched on at the mains. Check the bulb connection and ensure it is screwed in correctly. If the issue persists, consult a qualified electrician.

Flickering light

This could be due to a loose bulb or a compatible dimmer switch. Ensure the bulb is securely fitted. If using a dimmer, check its compatibility with LED bulbs or consider replacing the dimmer if it is faulty.

Uneven light distribution

The Spokes 3 design inherently creates specific light patterns due to its cage structure. If the light appears too harsh or uneven for your preference, consider using a dimmer to soften the output or repositioning the light.
