Something I purchased has gone wrong or broken, what should I do?  First check to see if it is still within warranty.  You can check in “My Account” on our website and look at your past orders to establish exactly when you purchased it. Next check the box or instructions (if you haven’t got them please check the website, as some items have the instruction leaflets as downloadable PDF files). Then Email us and tell us the details of the problem and we will instruct you what to do next. Please contact us BEFORE taking down fitted items as the manufacturer may require that an engineer sees the product-in-place before they will consider replacing or refunding it, as sometimes the problem can be easily fixed. We may also be able to offer a solution via email in some cases without the trouble of returning the goods.

My product has stopped working.  In the event your product has stopped working, check the following:

1. There is there power running to the unit. When changing a product, always switch off at the mains and allow the product to cool before handling. Do not exceed the wattage where stated.
2. The connections are tight
3. No loose strands of wire have been left out of the connection block (where applicable)
4. Unit has not overheated. IP65 units can prevent air circulation and cause products to over heat and become damaged.
5. LEDs will become damage if exposed to consistently high temperatures in excess of 50 degrees or more.
6. The voltage input is between 220-240V. All our products are compatible with standard UK voltage ranging 220-240V and could become damaged/ blown if exposed to voltages higher than recommended.

What if the product flickers?

• This could happen for various reasons:
• The product is not compatible with the dimmer
• There is not enough load on the circuit i.e. there are not enough lamps connected to the dimmer
• There may be unstable or excessive voltage on the circuit
• Warning: Lamps may become damaged if left flickering for a continuous period of time

Product stays on for a second after it has been switched off? Some LED products may hold current within the fixture or lamp for a couple of seconds after it has been switched off which may cause the light to remain on for a second after it has been switched off before turning off completely and will not cause any problems to the lighting unit.

Product stays continuously bright or dim after it has been switched off? You may have an earth leak on your circuit. You may not have noticed this with a standard halogen because it may be a small leak and isn’t strong enough to light up a standard halogen/ fluorescent/ tungsten product.

This could be very dangerous and you should consult an electrician. If you have any questions about a product, you can contact our Bright Spark for further advice by chat, email or phone.
