Troubleshooting
Before requesting service on your Verilux ® lamp please read the
following:

connected to a dimmer.

Insert plug securely into wall outlet.
Check bulb for blackening/darkening at ends (an indicator of bulb life)
and replace bulb. See www.verilux.com.
Be sure the bulb is securely seated into socket, repeat the bulb
installation process.
Sometimes when a new bulb is turned on for the first time the tube will
darken, but this will fade after a few minutes.
With older bulbs darkening of the tube indicates end of bulb life (this
doesn't affect operation except to reduce the amount of light available
since the phosphor in that area has become inactive). Bulb replacement
is recommended.
Insert plug securely into wall outlet.
Be sure the bulb is securely seated into socket, repeat the bulb
installation process. CAUTION: DISCONNECT LAMP FROM OUTLET
PRIOR TO REPEATING THE BULB INSTALLATION PROCESS.
Connect lamp plug only to wall outlet without dimmer switch.
