Only during Big load surges ?<br>
<br>
Could it be current limiting and because LEDs are so fast on and
off, you notice the drop in momentary voltage ?<br>
<br>
Any inverter might do that under the right conditions.<br>
<br>
Just a thought.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

<div dir="ltr">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.<br>

Dimmers are super specific to light brand/type. You'll
have to do the research<br>
<br>
For now swapping to regular switches should work<br>
