What is flicker?

The flickering of LED lighting is a common problem. It is one of the most annoying things when it comes to light. It may make you think of a horror movie, but electricity is there to make us live safely and comfortably. Flickering lights do the exact opposite.

What can I do?

The first solution for a flashing lamp is to replace an old bulb and to install a new LED version for it. The LED lighting is available in many shapes and sizes, finding a good replacement is certainly possible. Make sure you switch off the power and let the bulb cool down before changing it. Does the light still flash after changing? Then other solutions are possible.

What makes the lamp flicker?

In most cases, the flickering of a lamp is caused by a change in voltage, which suddenly dims the light. But there are also other options. The type of light. We can say with certainty that fluorescent tubes flash more than LED lighting. This depends on the temperature, age and start-up time of the tube. A little flickering during start-up is common with a fluorescent tube, but nowadays you can also opt for an LED tube. These do not flicker. View our selection of LED lamps, LED tubes and LED panels here.

Dimmers.

 Flickering can occur when a lamp is dimmed. Most dimmers are made for use with lamps with a higher electrical charge. Dimming LED lamps with these types of dimmers can cause problems. That is why we recommend that you always check the range of your dimmer before you purchase new lamps
