Non Dimmable Led Lights Flickering

It had to be the bulb.

Non dimmable led lights flickering.

What should be a smooth and even glow looks like a busted neon sign. All bought the same time. That s why some people think leds flicker more than older light sources. I took flickering light from one socket and replaced it with another led it worked fine.

But put the flickering bulb in that other socket it was still flickering. In the past that used to be true. I have 6 or seven like this. Led flicker used to be a common problem.

This was because unlike incandescents halogens and fluorescents leds have no persistence. An incorrectly connected light switch or a switch with a night light can be responsible for flickering. Same brand name tho. Led bulb flickering can be traced in almost every instance to a non compatible dimmer switch in the lighting circuit.

When the power supply to an led is switched off the light output stops instantly. Led lights flickering when switched off. So if connected directly to an ac mains electricity supply an led will switch on off 50 times each second enough to be visible to the human eye. Make sure the lamp s you re considering work with your dimmer switches.

Modern dimmer switches create the dimming effect by switching the power supply. The reason for this can usually be found in the electrical wiring. One year old. In some cases an led lamp may flicker even though the light switch is turned off.
