In Greenice we want more people to enjoy savings that They provide LED bulbs.
With the introduction, the LED technology lighting market has introduced new concepts into the world of lighting. One of them is the called "residual current." This is a phenomenon until now unknown Because with the old bulbs (incandescent, halogen, etc.) not It happened.
Why do some bulbs blink?
The main cause of this flicker effect or flicker is due to a current from the circuit that passes through the LED luminaire. To the be this type of technology very sensitive to those small currents, little by little Something circulates through them, it seems that they are lit or in some cases This annoying flicker occurs.
Among the most common causes is a light indicator switch, a normal switch that due to the passage of time no longer ends up cutting 100% or a residual current at some point that returns by the cable of neutral.
How to solve the flicker?
To solve this problem, just change the switch to a normal one No light indicator or place an antiparapadeo device (a condenser) that diverts that small current and does not enter the bulb so that they do not remain pent. I attach the link to whether of your interest.
The connection scheme of this type of device is shown below
As you can see in photography, this device is connected to parallel between the phase and neutral cables of the luminaire, as a bridge and that stays with that small residual current causing the bulbs not They are partially lit or flashing.
Steps to avoid flickering a bulb
The residual current is a phenomenon that in many cases has always existed But that until we have made the change to LED, we have not been aware of him. To avoid this type of "problem" you have to do Analysis of the electrical installation to see possible current returns, Check and/or change the switches since due to use these are wearing And they don't finish cutting so that little current let out.
