I got a 60W Equliv. LED bulb in a fixture that flickers all the time.
Its not very old. It does produce enough light but gets annoying after
awhile. They only cost a buck or two, so i'll just replace it, but I
wonder what is causing the flicker?

My guess is a cheap electrolytic in the rectifier, but I have never
really seen a schematic for how they are wired.


This is my opinion. They are made very cheaply they aren't made with much shielding so anything can cause them to flicker.


that simply isn't so. The nature of the circuits makes them robust against RFI.
