Try it without the dimmer, the dimmer could be bad. Are the cans/wiring existing, or all new?

First, this light is not designed to strobe. It is only on or off mode. If it is in a strobe mode then you might have internal contacts that are not seating correctly or some other physical issue with this light. I do know that some of these have tail cap click issues where they have to be screwed in really tight or the clicker will not turn on the light. Of course you can always remove the battery too. I have three of these and so far all three have functioned fine. I have bought 2 others as gifts and one had an issue of the clicker not turning on the light. Making sure it was as tight as possible stopped that issue. And, you could return it to have it replaced to. Good luck!

I have two and have not noticed any flickers. I use the on a dimmer and they are great.

With my LED set up which is 9 FEIT candelabra style 4w LED's, the bulbs flicker at lower dimming. Basically, they would flicker except at high or maximum. The LED's were rated for dimming.

Mary - we haven't had that issue at all with our unit. I would test it in a different wall socket and see if the issue repeats itself. If so, I would replace the bulb and, if your lamp strobes again, I think you have sufficient evidence to point to a flaw in the device. Best of luck. Hope you get it going well enough - my wife is delighted with ours. Joe

did anyone recognize a flicker like effect when you have a dark scene and it turns lighter? This has happened many times and am hoping it is a setting issue? It is really annoying. Appreciate any comments or recommendations.

Mine is doing this also. It's not an overly steady strobe - more random. The flashlight does not have a strobe setting, so the person who said that it is switching between modes is wrong. It's weird - it's not as flickery as when a normal flashlight has a bad connection.

If yours isn't doing like this video at the beginning then return it. It should look like lighting in the sky quick flashes etc...Hope it helps...really is a great light! http://youtu.be/CZXFgRxgj34

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.

Could be faulty cable, you might wanna check for continuity of its faulty. Triggers might be faulty too. Have you checked your settings on your strobe? You might wanna do some readings on your strobe manual. I know my trigger wont work sometimes. For a hundred shots i missed at least 4 out of 100...

Mine flickered from the start. Hasn't worked right and when the light was on it was dimmer than 60W for sure. CARLON is the brand I think and model HS300. Avoid like a plague.

Mine is always flashing. I will check tonight and let you know if you can change it.

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.

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

If I knew, I would not have thrown out 2 of them. Some representative told me (the customer) that I did not handle it properly. I had one that strobed (flashed) too. Go for a spotlight with LED technology that you can put good old fashioned alkaline batteries in (e.g., Eveready). Then it will always work when you really need it. Keep some batteries around the house.

What kind of LED light bulbs are you using? Typically with my experience its usually the bulbs that cause the flickering. These evolve dimmers work very well on most DIMMABLE led bulbs. Try ecosmart bulbs from homedepot or any lighting science led bulbs made for dimmable capabilities. Best of luck!
