LED lights blinking

[gaetano]

Hi, Can someone help me with this. I bought three led lights for my garage and after a few days one started to blink on and off company sent a new one and the same thing happened. So I bought a kit module and led it was the same as I took out. Can someone tell me why they are doing this are they getting too hot?

three possibilities:
1. They are either defective or junk
2. They are not compatible with whatever control devices you might have on the circuit...dimmers, sensors, timers, etc.
3. They are being supplied with the incorrect voltage

What kind of LEDs are you talking about? More info about them and how they are installed would be good.

Yes they could be junk lights. Lights are 50W 110/240 volts I have them wired 110 and they are on a photocell that turns them on at dusk. I bought these new all set up just had to wire black and white wires form box.

Run the Lights without the photocell...bet they work fine.
You might have to isolate the photocell with a relay between the two.
I'll run a photocell on my little curb light wired with a florescent bulb and I'll notice the light oscillating during sunset and dusk.

I've had luck using a higher watt CFL in my fixture. I had a problem with a lighted switch and the higher watt bulb fixed it. Maybe it will work with a LED
