Troubleshooting

Lamp won't turn on.

Ensure the lamp is fully charged. Connect the USB charging cable and allow it to charge for at least an hour before attempting to turn it on again. Check if the power button on the base is being pressed correctly.

Lamp is not charging.

Verify that the USB charging cable is securely connected to both the lamp and the power source (USB adapter or port). Try using a different USB cable or a different power adapter to rule out faulty accessories. Ensure the power source is active.

Battery life is shorter than 10 hours.

Battery life can vary based on the brightness setting; higher brightness levels will consume power faster. Ensure the lamp has been fully charged before use. Over time, all rechargeable batteries may experience some degradation; for persistent issues, consider contacting support for LED module assessment.

Light is flickering or inconsistent.

This could indicate a low battery. Try fully charging the lamp. If the flickering persists after a full charge, it may point to an issue with the LED module or internal electronics. Contact customer support.

Dimming function is not working.

Ensure you are pressing and holding the dimmer button correctly to adjust the brightness. If it's still unresponsive, try turning the lamp off and on again. If the issue persists, fully charge the lamp. If the problem continues, contact customer support.

Metallic finish appears smudged or dull.

Gently wipe the surface with a clean, dry, and soft lint-free cloth. Avoid touching the surface excessively to prevent fingerprints. Do not use any cleaning sprays or abrasive materials.
