Troubleshooting
Downlight does not turn on.
Ensure power is connected and the circuit breaker is in the 'on' position. Verify wiring connections to the FastRFix connector and ensure the push-fit terminals are properly engaged. Check if a compatible dimmer switch is installed and functioning correctly.
Flickering light.
This may indicate an incompatible dimmer switch. Ensure the dimmer is rated for LED use and is compatible with this specific downlight. Check all wiring connections for looseness.
Incorrect color temperature or brightness.
Verify that the wattage and color temperature switches on the downlight were set correctly *before* installation. If adjustments are needed, the fixture may need to be removed.
Poor light output.
Ensure the correct wattage (6W for higher output) has been selected. Check for any obstructions or dust buildup on the diffuser. Confirm that the selected dimmer setting is not set too low.
