[RE-wrenches] Flickering LED lights on and Outback Dual 7248 VFX system

[Dan Fink]

I consider LED flicker as very common when a fridge starts up, but NOT
while it's running. Both dimmed and not dimmed LEDs. I see flicker more
often on systems with smaller (or aging) battery systems of course. The
only particular appliance I have found causing constant flicker here and
with my clients is a particular brand of laser printer. And also a
subwoofer on the stereo (light show!)....a different subwoofer brand solved
that problem. Go figure, I have no idea why. Most of my inverters are by
Magnum. I have not found much difference with LED brands or dimmer brands.
I can see how this could be a problem for your client, Kirpal. None of mine
seem to mind a startup flicker, but if its constant that's a big problem. I
wish I had an answer for you, but I hope that providing this information
helps others. CFLs do not give me the same problem, but of course have
their own other problems.
