Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on.

Check that the power supply is on and the circuit breaker has not tripped. Ensure the bulb is correctly screwed in and is functional. Verify all wiring connections are secure.

Light flickers.

Light is not dimmable.

Ensure you are using a bulb specifically labeled as 'dimmable'. Also, confirm that your home's light switch is a compatible dimmer switch and not a standard on/off switch.
