content: There is nothing wrong with your quick. All that happens is that your mains voltage sags when heater is turned on for short moments of time to keep the set temperature.QuoteIt just becomes more dim constantly as there is constant power consumption, not fluctuating.

All my other white leds are good by default.I test the flicker with my smarphone camera, best way to see if theres any flicker at all

Switched them over to a linear supply, and problem solved in that case.Unfortunately, LED or CCFL bulbs that screw into a socket still flicker. They are on the same circuit as the Quick, but this can't be changed without major renovation (i.e. cutting interior side of the wall due to fire blocks).Fortunately, the LED strips are my primary source of lighting on the bench so it's livable ATM. I may end up having to crack open the LED spot light I have in a swing arm lamp and correct the problem (just concerned I'll stuff a decent bulb).

content: Quote from: nanofrog on January 13, 2018, 04:01:50 pmThats strange, i have a 3.5m led strip running from a cheap 12v SMPS PSU + 4 x 1.5m LED Tubes that i brought from China Store and reputable store (Mixed brands) + 12v 144 led ring on microscope, nothing flicker and my bench is all connected to same single power outlet... Have about 20 connected equipments and devices to the same outlet including the quick. Once i replace the CCFL tube no more flicker, all others run stable. (220V AC) LED Tubes are also connected to same outlet.
