LED Flickering? Troubleshooter

Flicker is usually a connection, a dimmer or the driver.

Note when it flickers: all the time, only with the engine running, or only when dimmed. Work through one question at a time. You can go back or start over whenever you like.

Safety: this troubleshooter is general information for low-voltage DC learning circuits. 240V AC mains can kill: in Australia, work on mains wiring must be done by a licensed electrician. Disconnect power before you touch wiring.
