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

[boB at midnitesolar.com]

Only during Big load surges ?

Could it be current limiting and because LEDs are so fast on and off, 
you notice the drop in momentary voltage ?

Any inverter might do that under the right conditions.

Just a thought.
