Agree, my double dipper flickers on main beam on tickover but is okay when on the move. Dipped beam doesn't flicker at all.
Also added a separate earth lead.
Flickering not a bad thing over here, gets the stoopid car drivers attention, you can buy modulators to do the same thing to rear and headlights.

Re: LED headlamp
all LEDs will flicker if the supply voltage drops too low
and very quickly go out altogether unlike a filament bulb that gets dimmer
I was lucky with my LED#s that they work from 6 - 36V so on 12v are always good , and on the 46 G80 a mechanical regulator and gel battery keep voltage up above 6v so give a brilliant light
a lot of LED only work from 9V and upward
and very quickly go out altogether unlike a filament bulb that gets dimmer

Re: LED headlamp
Which do you use? Also, have you tried smoothing it out with a capacitor?g80csp11 wrote:all LEDs will flicker if the supply voltage drops too low

Fix it until it's broken!
Otherwise how will
anything get done?
