Looking to use this light for my FS-700 to do some slow motion stuff at 240fps. Will these lights flicker even if I'm running on battery power?

This light even advertises that it uses PWM, that's Pulse Width Modulation, which means FLICKERING. That's how it dims. This is incredibly stupid for a camera light. I'm sure that if you're using long shutter times you'll be fine, but for anything high-frame-rate or with high gate speed it's very likely that you'll get unacceptable flicker.

Fluorescents flicker, but I doubt that LEDs do. Flickering usually happens because of 50 cycle power being recorded with an NTSC camera(60 cycles). I like the light.

No, I haven't noticed any flickering and have been using two of them for quite some time.

I have 3 pairs. I've not noticed any flicker and neither has any one else in my family. Your mileage may vary!

Have eight units none has never flicker in 2 years. Suggest Maybe try another dc transformer. U don't need 50watt for 2 lights.

They have an anti flicker resistor just plug n play. But thw customer service sucks the worst. I had to keep on them to refund my money. Due to an issue with moisture inside the housing of the lights.

In my opinion, yes. This was the main reason I switched, immediate light, no flickering or warming up.

I have two setup, both on CF bulbs. I have 8 bulbs on one circuit, and one of the bulbs I noticed flickers for a few minutes after you turn them off. Something new I found out, when the power goes out, then comes back on, the lights on these units come on with the power.

If you have the timer that is supposed to ramp light up and down, it only works if you have light on full. If you have light set on any other mode it will flicker when ramping on and off. Hope this helps

That is how you would think it would work but it doesn't. I tried that using my AEV programmer and high beams would flicker. I read on JW Speakers website and sounds like the problem is too much power going through the anti flicker assembly itself. DRL's set on high beam flicker. High beams used normally no flicker.

You should get zero flash, I don't get any flicker like some of the older pre 2004 cars. I love the lights, they could be just a little brighter. I like that they don't blind oncoming traffic but yet give good visibility. You should have no problems. I hope that helps.

I haven't noticed any flicker. There's 2 settings, bright and slightly dimmer but definitely no flicker.

that i do not know. nothing seems to flicker, or dim when i turn them on. i actually have them wired into old aftermarket fog light wires.

Check with Rogue directly on this, so many speedlights out there right now they would be the best to inform you.

Yeah as long as you hook it up to the factory harness, your flickering problem should be gone. If not maybe you just need a new battery instead.

No, these lights are strobes, the flash only lasts for a fraction of a second. You would need continuous lighting for video.

They work fine with Malibu power packs. However, I decided to swap the incandescent bulbs that came with them for LEDs (http://www.amazon.com/replacements-Malibu-Landscape-light-1407WW/dp/B0035E4SN8/ref=cm_pdp_rev_itm_title_1). These are great and don't flicker. They give off a cooler color of light. I have 6 Paradise lights, but with LEDs, I'm sure I could run over a dozen.

Lutron MACL-153M-WH Maestro still has a flicker even when these are on full power (I have 4 of the lamps).
