Does anyone know why the light flickers? I have 12 volts and a 50 watt transformer and have two lights and they both flicker.

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

Hi, If both lights are flickering then my guess is the power supply or wiring. I would put an AM transistor radio next to the wires and you would be able to hear the crackling noise of the voltage changes. Probably a bad plug connection. I do not think the lights are the problem. You could also try a 12 volt battery for a test. Good Luck!

You said transformer, meaning AC. STOP using transformer. That is also the reason it flickers!You need a 12vdc power supply. For every light you need 3 watts. For example 2 lights driven by one power supply: 2 x 3 = 6 watts. Make sure that + is connected to the red wire. Then the lamp and you will both be happy!If you have good discarded 12 vdc gadget power supply, you will even be happier.

It should not. Make sure it is getting power supply without interruption - just in case wire is not loose. Mine doesn't flicker.

Hi Judy...i can't explain why it flickers. Mine flickered - or I should say the light screwed into it - in the twilight period before sunrise and sunset. Once it became totally dark or light, the flickering would stop. If your flickering continues during complete light or darkness then something is wrong with the unit if you had no problem with a standard bulb. I switched to an LED bulb with a built in dusk to dawn sensor and have not had any flickering issue.

There is a key you need to use to turn the light on which is odd in that you need to remember to activate them before dark. By the same token, it preserves the solar. We've not had issues with flickering or other motions turning them on. I hope that helps. Write us at long_mike@live.com if you have further questions.

Hi and lo get the same voltage. Need to get the rectifiers for no light flicker. Mine work great!! Happy trails!

There is a voltage issue, sadly. You need a step-down transformer, which is what I use.

No. I have work with it for long hours. Check the settings and make sure it is not set for 60 hertz. Try a higher setting such as 120 hertz. It could be flickering. Otherwise, call for tech support.

They flicker when you dim them. I wouldn't recommend it for dimming. Sorry. We bought in bulk for standard lighting but have dimmers on them but don't use it.

Don't know.-- Added my own meter lights and replaced an internally shorted transformer with a bigger and better one out of the junk box. Also put higher capacity pass transistors on my second unit. Yeah the fan gets growly; other than that they both work.

I have 2 amps connected to mine and it works pretty good. my lights stopped flickering.

It could either be the relay or not grounded to a soils metal, mine use to flicker to but when I change the whole relay it stopped

Yes, all four of mine flickered. I sent them back. I had a set of Philips LED bulbs in the same sockets and they never flickered, so I'm replacing these with another set of Philips LED bulbs. I suspect if your lights were flickering then you have voltage inconsistencies in your house (even though you didn't have them on a dimmable switch) and a bulb marked "dimmable" will probably be able to handle it without flickering.

I am sorry that I can not be of help, I have not noticed the flickering with mine in my setup. As others have suggested it may be defective and you may want to return it or exchange it.

The problem is either your voltage is dropping off or that you have "dirty" power going into the lights...you can solve the dirty power problem with a small capacitor between the power supply and the terminals on the lights

It flickered when I turned it on during the daytime, then turned off. I think perhaps this was to show that the light was installed correctly.

Good morning, I would suggest buying a transformer that is rated 100 a watts more than your light fixtures. Also, if you are going to add any additional lights, now woul be a good time to figure that in do you don't have to buy an additional transformer down the road. Hope this helps.

So far I haven't had any problems with red light run continuously flickering, it might have a short in it. It not suppose to work like that and I would return it for a new one. This Deluxe brand was rated high, it goes from low to high and my wife and I love it. Contact the seller and ask to return it for another one and they will honor it with a UPS return slip. I hope that help you. Aaron G.

No flicker, the led light goes completely off. I've had mine for over a year - no problems.
