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.
