Troubleshooting

1. For multi-channel products, when the A channel bulb is turned on, why does the B channel bulb, which is in the off state, light up slightly or flicker?

This problem is also caused by the incompatible or poor compatibility of the bulbs used. It may be caused by the A channel bulb or the B channel bulb, and the latter is more likely.
