Maintenance Tips
-
Use in compatible enclosed fixtures only (rated appliances/ceiling fans) to avoid overheating and early burnout.
-
Avoid frequent on/off cycling—incandescent filaments last longer with steady use.
-
Do not touch glass with bare hands; oils create hot spots that shorten bulb life.
-
Ensure correct voltage and fixture rating (typically 120V, E26 base) for stable performance.
-
Keep fixture clean and dust-free to maintain proper heat dissipation.
-
Allow bulb to cool before handling to prevent breakage and burns.
-
Check socket tightness periodically to avoid flickering or poor contact.
-
Replace immediately if flickering or darkening occurs—signs of filament wear.
-
Avoid moisture exposure unless used in sealed appliance-rated fixtures.
-
Use proper wattage only (40W max) to prevent overheating and safety risks.
