It seems like when the Enphase Gateway is powered up it causes the lights to freak out. Once we flip the breaker to the Gateway off the lamp operates as normalZ Interestingly, with another load (homeowner was using a dehumidifier) plugged into the circuit it seems to stabilize the lights. We isolated the problem to the Gateway specifically (ie having PV breakers on/off doesn’t make a difference). It’s a supply side connection. The house is small but we tried the lamp in multiple parts of the house and it happens everywhere. Enphase doesn’t have any ideas. Anyone have this happen to them?</p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">I think we might just need to buy them some new lamps, but I’m also interested to understand what is happening. These are just some cheap lamps, but wondering if other household loads that are more sensitive might be affected as well? </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Adam </p></div></div></body></html>
