New Led Light Bulb Not Working

Are the led bulbs as bright and at a cool white color of about 3000k temperature anything higher and it would be unpleasantly going towards daylight.

New led light bulb not working. My led is not working. Easy way to check is to wipe bulb with your finger. Only when i screwed in another 14w 60w equivalent cfl did it finally work. Leds often look brighter than incandescent lights but looks brighter and illuminates better are not.

There are a number of reasons why your new led light is not working even if you installed it properly in your vehicle. Simply screwing in tighter will fix the problem. Check the metal socket tab in the bottom center of the socket. Check the light bulb first to see if it has burned out.

Current led light sources and luminaires are very durable and normally last between 15 000 and 50 000 hours. Sometimes on a dimmer the cfl bulbs will never shut off all the way. Nevertheless led lamps can also break down on the one hand this can be due to the lamp itself. The most common reason a cfl light bulb will not work is because the switch it is connected to is a dimmer switch.

Most cfl light bulbs do not work on a dimmer. The constant on off flow of electricity can sometimes loosen a light bulb in the socket. Plug and play led replacements for halogen headlight bulbs are a popular car mod. And if the old one is a cfl compact fluorescent don t spend much time thinking it can t be the bulb.

If you are having issues getting anything to work in your led installation or your lighting is inconsistent go over this trouble shooting guide for some pointers on resolving your issue. If so replace the bulb. Use alligator clamps hooked up to the car battery to test the led. If the bulbs in question work elsewhere so you know they re not bad and you check the contacts and know that they re touching to check maybe try daubing some ink with the power off obviously on the contact inside the socket then screw the bulb in and see if any gets on the bulb.

Typically if your led lights simply don t work it is not because the products are defective but due to a basic wiring mistake or overlook. Before you replace the existing bulb give it a twist and a jiggle sometimes that works. Check the fuse box on your vehicle to insure no fuses are popped. The cost of new ballasts vs substituting led 4 ft bulbs in the same fixture minus the ballasts.

Otherwise try a new one. The strangest thing is when i screwed in the new bulb the light refused to work. All brand new bulbs that work in other sockets around the apartment. When i screwed in a larger cfl say a 20w 75w equivalent it also refused to work.

Install the led on another vehicle to see if it works there. This brings me to another issue. They re supposed to last 10 years some of them don t last 10 months.
