There is a one second turn-on delay. Is this normal? I do not have this light on a dimmer.

It's not so much an LED thing as it is a power supply thing. LED's are low-voltage DC devices; the "transformer" is actually an electronic power supply that has more in common with a laptop power adapter than a simple transformer. It takes a second or two for the supply to stabilize before it applies current to the LED's.

Mine Innova does the same thing. Kind of annoying. I have another LED fixture from a different manufacturer and it comes on instantly. Got to believe that the higher quality transformers do not take as long. Maybe its just a matter of---you get what you pay for. Other than that, the light is fine...very bright & no hum.

Yes that is normal for LED lighting. I have mine on occupancy sensors. That way I don't feel weird clicking a light switch a waiting for it to turn on.

My electrician I think mentioned it was normal for LED lighting, then again, they are made in China; as long as the are not dangerous (they have URL certification).

We have the same problem. Turn on, count one, and lights turn on. An LED thing?

Mine has the delay. It seemed weird the first few times, but now I don't think about it.

Electrician here... this is most likely an issue with the switch you are using. Modern electronic style dimmers do not completely turn off the power when in the lowest (off) position. If you have an electronic dimmer switch look at it very closely and you should see a small pull tap (usually pretty inconspicuous), this is a "maintenance" off switch. Pull it out and see if your flickering goes away, if so then you will need to install a different switch.

There is an approximate 1-2 second delay before they light up when turning them on, however they are on quicker and brighter than cold and/or old florescent lamps. so it's barely noticeable at all. They also make no noise at all like florescent lamps do. They do not say UL anyplace on them or the packaging. I did not save a copy of the install instructions so I can't check that.

Mine do fine until you get to very low levels. Also seems to be sensitive to how quickly you move the dimmer- slower is better for avoiding a flicker.

After sitting a while, there is a very short delay -- it felt like 1/8 of a second. When I turned the switch on, off, and on again, there was no delay.

I've noticed mine does not start up very well. Twist the bulb as if removing and then reinstall. It won't start immediately. Also, the indicator is not an LED like it looks, just a lens to the inside. Turn of the lights or shield ambient light, it might be on, you just can see it.

It is not a defect. it is auto set to be "On " when it arrives. you can switch it off - go to Menu from your remote - then to setup , scroll down and click on other settings and then go to LED illumination and there Turn it off

instant, I bought 9 for kitchen and 1 would delay about a second when first turned on, but works real well. would buy more. good light, good color. I did replace the dimmer as my electrician says the new dimmer is made for led's. Good luck.

I have mine lights on a timer not sure about a dimmer. I haven't tried that. Love them tho

I have found that all LED lights respond differently with dimmers. The newer ones now have a little faster on times, but I would be sure that the dimmer that you are using is labeled for LED lights. When I have changed out the dimmer I have had much better on response time.

If dimmer is down, they will be off....mine also take a second or so to light, but that doesn't bother me knowing I'm really saving on electricity.

Press once to turn on/off. Press and hold to dim. Yes, you do have to think about it at first.

I believe that there is a pretty significant time delay built into these things. They are not "instant ON" and "instant OFF". I think I would put black electrical tape over the sensor, then wait for a bit after you energize it to give it time to "decide" that it should switch on. If it doesn't come on 5 minutes or less, I'd guess that it has failed. If that's the case, the manufacturer likely owes you a new one!

All of the led transformers I have purchased seem to have a 1 to 2 second delay when powered on. I think this is a protection circuit. I have had a few of these on continuously for over a year with no blinking or any issues. good product

I have these bulbs in a touch lamp. I really didn't notice the delay. There is one, but it is so minimal, it doesn't really make a difference to me. They do the job I bought them for and that is all that counts. Hope this helps.

Yes...the on/off button, when pressed and held, acts as a very good dimmer switch. From really bright to almost off in a second.

Sorry, Ryan, no clue. Is the socket making firm contact? Do you have a dimmer on that light? Beyond that....
