[Bradley Bassett]

I’ve had LED lights, with multiples in one fixture, flicker on grid power.

We have had multiple reports of different LED and traditional ballasted fluorescent systems "flickering" during the day when the AC systems are producing power. We havent had issues with other off grid AC coupling using Sunny Islands, or even old VFX inverters, but this does seem to be an issue directly related to the Radians.I'm wondering if any of you have had experience with this, and if you found any hacks to "clean up" the power?
