If the LED lamp flickers for a short time after switching on, the lamp is either of poor quality or is about to become faulty at the end of it’s lifespan. With many no-name lamps the integrated power supply is built with cheap components. Some of these need a certain operating temperature before the flickering stops.
Why does my motion detector light keep flickering?
To prevent the LED lamp on a motion detector from flickering, a variant with low minimum load or a switching relay must be used. As you have seen, LED flickering can have many reasons and could occur in different situations. In most cases it is caused in connection with a dimmer, a transformer or due to electrical wiring.
What should I do if my headlights keep flickering?
Perhaps the easiest way to fix flickering headlights is to replace the bulbs and see if this solves the issue. Remove the headlight protection cover to inspect the bulbs. Unscrew and check for possible damage or discolouration. Gently touch the bulbs to see if they wobble.
