Hello. I have a total of 5 low voltage led landscape lights. 3 in the same area are dim and have a very, very slight flicker. The other 2 lights are in a different area and are fine. What would the problem be?
 
Probably a loose connection to the dim lights or between them, I think it's a safe bet the two that are fine are on a different circuit?
 
As Mike says, probably a loose connection

If they are all wired as a radial from the same source, then maybe a loose connection somewhere between the last working light and the first flickering one.
 
Low voltage, as in 12 volt? Are the non working lights the furthest away from the power source?

Good point. Could be voltage drop rather than loose connection.

OP, have they ever worked correctly?
 
Something I always assume on these posts, but shouldn't, some times it's like pulling teeth. ?
Never assume anything!
I spend a lot of my time answering questions on a BMW forum. On one occasion I spent hours trying to diagnose an engine fault, before eventually discovering that the BMW engine had been replaced byone from a different manufacturer. OP hadn't considered mentioning this small point.
 
"Never assume anything" was a mantra I had throughout my working like, but since I retired this has sort of left me less cynical to my detriment on most occasions.
