  • My kitchen light was flickering after I switched it to an all in one LED light fixture. I switched it back to a regular light fixture and added LED bulbs to fix the flickering light. The all in one LED fixtures don't seem to last very long before it started flicking. This was the third LED light fixture I changed after installing them just a year ago.
    THE FIX
    Changed it back to a regular light fixture and installed LED light bulbs.

    Quick fix. Buy a powerline control systems model LDS-120V LED Dimming Stabilizer. Workes great. I put mine at the ceiling fixture for ease of installation.

    My lights are flickering in the basement, replaced all the light fixtures with new ones and it still was flickering, the culprit was at the breaker box. I replaced that faulty circuit breaker.

      The wires were only 2". So, he extended them by adding 'pig tails', which is just a short length of wire attached with wire nuts to add length. Doing electrical work with wires less than 6" to work with is a pain. 6"-8" is best. If you have too much wire, it can be difficult to stuff into the box.

    LED bulbs also don't work well. I've noticed even an LED bulb in a normal socket starts to often flicker after a very short time. Putting normal incandescent bulbs back in fixes the issues.

      That could be due to cheap bulbs or a slew of other issues.
      90% of the energy that an incandescent bulb uses is lost to heat.

    If there is an old style dimmer switch, an LED light will often flicker. There is a newer style dimmer switch available which is designed for use with non-incandescent bulbs.

    @MrRomo54 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    LOL most of the flickering is caused by the wiring not being tight, they get losse and electric currents go on and off, incandescent lights gets hot and will not flicker because they still have some electricity current when it goes back on,

    Nowdays these LED bulbs are just don't last long. I have changed quite a few Great Value bulbs the daylight(white) ones. The soft white(yellow) some how seem to last longer. Also if you have a dimmer you need to get the 'dimmable' bulbs.
    He could have replaced the whole bulb assembly with a Pure LED kit that does not use any bulbs and has much brighter light.
