Troubleshooting
Lamp does not turn on
Ensure the lamp is fully charged. Check the USB-C connection and try a different charging source. Activate the lamp by pressing the power button.
Dim light output
Check if the dimmer is set to the lowest setting. Increase the brightness level by adjusting the dimmer control. Ensure the battery is sufficiently charged.
Magnetic base not holding securely
Ensure the metal surface is clean and free of dust or debris. Test on a different, stronger magnetic surface if possible. The magnet is designed for secure attachment, but surface material and thickness can affect holding power.
Lamp not charging
Verify that the USB-C cable is properly connected to both the lamp and the power source. Try a different USB-C cable and power adapter to rule out faulty accessories. Ensure the charging port is clean.
Inconsistent light during use
This may indicate a low battery. Charge the lamp fully. If the issue persists with a full charge, contact customer support.
