Shop led lighting

[Ol' Ron]

I installed some used defective LED lighting in my shop a few years back, They were so bright that I had to eliminate some of the bulbs, The only thing wrong with them is: they "flicker" some times. The fact that I have bad eyesight, makes it a big improvement. I also replaced most of the florescent tubes in the garage area. Well worth the effort and costs.

One reason Leds can flicker, is when they don't have full voltage.



They do make dimmable leds now for rheostat dimmers. Putting a non dimmable older led on a dimmer switch will make them flicker.
