Default Do switch mode power supplies flicker in time with mains?

The trouble is I want to compare 2kHz+ from one light with 2kHz+ from a
neighbouring light and see if they're in sync.


Maybe use a dual trace oscilloscope?


And you'd have to isolate the lights from each other.

Since this landed in alt.home.repair, I gotta ask. Do you have
single-phase or two-phase?


Normally, neighboring lights would be powered from the same phase.


Mine arent and that is deliberate so that if I lose a single phase, and
that isnt that uncommon, I don't lose all the lights in the one area.
