LED lights are widely used in homes, offices and industrial lighting due to their energy saving, high brightness and long life. However, many people will encounter a troubling problem during use - LED lights flicker. Flickering not only affects the user experience, but may also cause a burden on the eyes. So, why do LED lights flicker? And how to solve this problem?
1. Common causes of LED light flickering
(1)Unstable power supply voltage
LED lights are sensitive to voltage changes. If the grid voltage is unstable, especially during peak power consumption or in areas with poor power supply quality, LED lights may flicker.
(2)Incompatible dimmers
Many families like to install dimmer switches to control brightness. However, not all LED lights support dimming functions, or the dimmer is incompatible with the LED drive circuit, which can also cause the light to flicker.
(3)LED drive power supply problem
The drive power supply inside the LED light is used to convert AC power into DC power required for LED operation. If the drive circuit is poorly designed, damaged or of poor quality, it will cause the LED to flicker frequently.
(4)Poor contact or aging of the circuit
Poor contact of the terminal, switch or power plug of the lamp may also cause intermittent current, which in turn causes the LED light to flicker. Aging circuits can also cause similar problems.
(5)Weak flicker caused by residual electricity
Some switches (especially switches with indicator lights) will still have weak current flowing to the LED lamp when they are turned off, causing the bulb to occasionally flicker at night or glow slightly for a long time.
2. How to solve the problem of LED light flickering?
(1)Replace the appropriate driver power supply
If the flickering problem comes from the driver power supply, you can choose a higher quality constant current driver power supply that matches the lamp for replacement.
(2)Replace a compatible dimmer
If you use the dimming function, be sure to choose "LED dedicated dimmer" and make sure that the lamp supports the dimming function. The compatibility of the two is very critical..
(3)Check the circuit and wiring
Check whether the switch, socket, and wire are loose, corroded or aged, and repair or replace the defective parts in time to ensure that the circuit connection is stable and reliable.
(4)Install residual current elimination device
For flicker caused by residual current, you can connect a small capacitor in parallel to the lamp or install a "flash protection resistor" to effectively absorb the residual current and prevent the bulb from flickering.
(5)Replace high-quality LED bulbs
Some low-priced LED lamps use simplified circuit design and unstable quality. It is recommended to choose LED bulbs of regular brands and complete certifications, which can reduce flicker and ensure safety.
3. Conclusion
Although flickering of LED lights is common, it can usually be solved through correct diagnosis and simple treatment. Whether it is replacing bulbs, adjusting circuits, or using compatible equipment, as long as we pay a little attention, we can easily say goodbye to the "flickering trouble" and enjoy a stable and comfortable lighting environment.
