Possible Causes

Non-compatible LED or CFL bulbs, loose bulb in socket, poor grounding, failing lamp driver on board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and allow bulbs to cool before handling.

  • Use compatible bulbs: Replace existing bulbs with Skylink-recommended LED or incandescent bulbs known to be garage-door-opener compatible.
  • Secure bulb: Ensure the bulb is screwed in firmly but not overtightened.
  • Test remote range: With the opener light off, test remote range. If range improves significantly, the bulb or lamp circuit is the source of interference.
  • Replace board if needed: If compatible bulbs still cause interference and flicker, the lamp driver on the Skylink main control board may be faulty and require replacement.
