Lights are flickering? Why are they flickering? I don't think they're supposed to do that. It's been about 5 months since I got them and they're on for about 12 hours a day. Other than flickering, they sometimes go dark even when plugged in and I have to tap them before they flicker back on. It seems a bit dangerous so I'm unplugging it for now until I find a fix. Help?

My CFL has never worked; no flicker, no light, so I can't answer the question

I have flickering problem in a different brand, from day one. Square Perfect has worked without flickering though. I have them on about 6 hours everyday for the last 25 months. I wonder if yours is a one off, or if there is a bad batch out.

You probably have a bush or something moving in the wind if the light keeps going on. But if the light is blinking and not staying on for 5 minutes at a time, suggest you set it to another interval for a while then back to 5. If that doesn't work, contact the manufacturer.

We've had ours for a few months, and they're still working just fine with no signs of dimming. They don't come on at all during the daytime, and when triggered, they only come on for about 5-10 seconds. I think this helps prolong the battery life.

I've had my lights for over 6 months and have had no problems to date. I would contact customer service to see if they can replace them

I've left them on for several hours before and haven't had any major issues. It was for photography rather than video. The overhead light did short but I think it had to do with the power source, not the light itself.

I have them in three ceiling fans. There is NO flicker. When you turn them on, they come on instantly. When you turn them off, they go out instantly...no flicker.

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.

Check your connections. I have found that these lights are finicky. The slightest movement (like replacing a bulb) affects the connections. Play with the connections when on and you'll find they work.

Mine stopped working as well. It lasted for about 6 months. Sometimes it decides to turn on. When it does, after some time, it flickers on and off and then shuts off completely.I have a second one, that's just as old, that is working perfectly fine.... for now.

Very slight flicker when turning on -- not annoying at all. Instant on. However, they do flicker when it is time to change a bulb. I've had 20 in my family room ceiling since 1993. They are on constantly and I haven't had to change a bulb in over 15 months.

Not sure man but I'm having trouble with mine now since last month my lights keep flickering of and on even if I turn them off or fully on are you having that issue

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!?

Are they speaking about the little light that is inside the dimmer? If so, mine has lasted forever. I wouldn't know about that. If they are speaking about the bulb that is in the lamp it turns on and off, then that has not happened to me. If my lamp burns out I replace the bulb and it has no effect on the dimmer. I highly recommend these dimmers! Mine is a necessity!

I haven't had that issue with mine either. I use mine mainly for edging which puts a greater strain on the battery. My battery will normally last between 30 and 45 minutes and all lights go out. I would definitely call their customer service and ask about it.

Do agree .. The lights are very sensitive also come undone or lose ..... Light comes apart very easy .. Check the lights connection 1st.. Then replace if needed..if that fails then you other electrical issues.. Good luck!

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!

These must be in a dark room before they come on. I put in 2 bathrooms for night lite. When I turn on the bathroom light at night, they go out. As I leave the room, turning the light off, I notice a 2-3 second delay. Then they come back on. If this does not occur, I would request replacements. Mine worked fine from the 'git-go'.
