It's not happy hour, I'm just like this.

Oddly, in my case the issue only happened with the dimmer full throttle. Now I know why anyway - the two dimmers are interacting in weird ways. Probably nothing to worry about.Maybe make an exception in this case, and see what happens with non-dimmable (just keep your dimmer turned up all the way.) Dimmable is supposed to vary in intensity with chopped AC. If output from inverter warbles, it obliges. So maybe non-dimmable will suck extra juice trying to maintain constant output. Maybe a premium/name brand. I think it was CFL that rode through voltage variations due to my electric furnace, while a different type (incandescent) dimmed.
I did try some dimmable LED once, in a range hood. I didn't like the flicker, now using incandescent. The things are supposed to deliver steady dimmed light, not follow every clipped cycle! Might need a bigger capacitor.

Regarding stove hood - I'll share an interesting experience I had with mine. I bought the best dimmable LEDs I could find and they still flickered. Then after replacing one of them with the xenon's I was using before I noticed that with one xenon bulb and one LED the no longer flicker. And even better, the xenon bulbs now last about year without burning out whereas before they were burning out every 2 - 3 months. I'm not really sure what's going on there but now I use one of each.
I picked up a box of recessed retrofit downlights on clearance at Menard's (SKU: #473-1190) a while back. They run on 120v/60Hz grid power and do not flicker. Does that count?I have been told on the forum that flickering lights were caused by cheap LEDs.
I have yet to find one that does not flicker even when they say no flicker on the package.
If anyone finds LEDs that are the so called good ones, please let us know.
My LVX6048 also flickers when the sun is out (generally speaking)
Depends on what you consider flicker- voltage fluctuation at a moderate cycle will vary a lot of LEDs that are 120V.have yet to find one that does not flicker even when they say no flicker on the package.
None of my LEDs flicker on grid either. no matter how cheap. Are yours run off an inverter?I picked up a box of recessed retrofit downlights on clearance at Menard's (SKU: #473-1190) a while back. They run on 120v/60Hz grid power and do not flicker. Does that count?
Nope, no inverter, straight off the grid (powered by coal).None of my LEDs flicker on grid either. no matter how cheap. Are yours run off an inverter?
