2 out of my 6 bulbs flickered. Exchanged the 2 flickers & the replacements are still fine.

I have the same problem. Put it in 3 different slots and the light flickers very fast. Unusable.

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.

Yes, that was the problem I had. Three out of eleven bulbs were useless because of that problem.

Thank you all for your comments and tips. Ive just exchanged the monitor for another unit and the replacement unit does not have the same first start/powering on flickering. Btw, i tested the original unit on a ps4, 2 diferent desktops, and a laptop each with their own cable but the result were the same. In the manual it stated that flickering is "normal" due to the nature of the LED backlit, and call support only when the monitor no longer power on due to the flickering. (...?)

i havent had any problems with them. so im assuming that its not normal, if its just one id change it, but it sounds like your saying all are dimming out. May be an alternative issue, but it could very well be possible that its the cheap lights!?

I had the same problem with one switch I installed. I took it back out and found the ground was not tight. Once correct, it has been working fine. I am dimming LED's and they are smooth and flicker-free. My advice would to be certain the switch is grounded correctly. Hope that fixes it for you.

I would send it back. I have had mine for some time and have had no issues with mine. Sounds like a bad light sensor. Good luck.

Does your lamp have the adjustable brightness feature? I just use the bulb that came with the lamp, but with the adjustment, it gets pretty bright...I'd call the manufacturer before using any bulb other than what they recommend...

My guess is you got a defective one. They are fairly inexpensive to begin with, so it wouldn't be a long shot if you ended up getting one that was malfunctioning the way you are describing. My advice is to just send it back to Amazon so they can replace it with another one. I know it's an inconvenience, but in the end, you'll be glad you did. It's a great light, especially when it works the way it's supposed to.

Is this the 1st time you have used the lamp? I ended up purchasing replacement bulbs only to find out the problem was a wire had come loose in the lamp itself.

We have never had that problem. We use our lamp frequently and have had no problems at all. Absolutely love it!

Have you checked for a loose wire? I would say buy another bulb maybe you have a faulty bulb. Have not had any problems with mine. Everyone who sees it for the first time is very impressed!

In my original review I pointed out that these flicker when dimmed, could also be associated with buzzing since the load is on and off. Mine are still going strong after considerable use, however, I rarely dim since the flickering is irritating.

I have not experienced a problem with the light flickering. The only suggestion I could offer is to check the wiring at the plug and wall outlet as well as the connection to the base of the light. If all else fails, I would suggest returning the light.Hope this helps

I didn't have that problem but there was a glitch in mine which made my screen flicker. I believe that it's a manufacturing issue. If you can't get it to work, is send it back and ask for another one

All the warranty questions are answered on there website. I had the same flickering issues. I'm on my third and final coast.

It could be a bad bulb. Sometimes they get knocked around in shipping and the circuit opens. Have you checked other bulbs in the same lamp? Also make sure the lamp is plugged in (I know it's silly but you'd be surprised at how often that is the problem).If the bulb is actually damaged, which you can usually tell by jiggling it and listening for a rattle or by inserting it into another socket and testing, just return it to Amazon through http://www.amazon.com/returns

No flickering problem here. Is it on a dimmer? If so, check the type. An older dimmer might mess with your leds.

That happened to me about a month ago. Amazon was great and advice me to return the defective product. I bought a different brand of lamp now and it's been working great. Good luck.
