Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Ensure the power cord is fully plugged into the outlet and the fixture. Check if the outlet is functioning by plugging in another device. Verify the power switch is in the 'on' position.

Light head detaches unexpectedly

Ensure both the magnetic surfaces on the head and stem are clean and free of dust or obstructions. The rare earth magnets are strong; ensure the head is properly aligned and seated.

Flickering light

Check the power connection for any looseness. If the issue persists, it may indicate an issue with the integrated LED or internal components; contact customer support.

Base is unstable

Confirm the floor light is placed on a level surface. Ensure the stem is securely attached to the base.
