Dimmable LED flickering

[Smssmith]

I have 9 led strips fitted to a bookcase which is operated by an LED dimmer switch. The lights all turn on, off and dim, but after they have been on a few minutes 3 of the lights begin flickering constantly.

Is this an issue with the lights or the dimmer switch?

Thanks

Mainly flicking on LED strips is a result of lower voltage or poor connectivity. Also flicking could be present because of issues with the driver and surely there are other reasons.

In your case i would suggest checking the driver is able to work with the driver. Since the lights works well for sometime there are more signs that the driver is the defected part.

However, it's better to re-check connections and all the circuit.

As well as LEDs that are suitable for dimming, you also need a dimmer switch that is suitable for an LED load.

It can be very hit-and-miss, even now.

If they are strips designed for a constant current supply, are they by any chance connected in parallel?
Could you tell us what driver you have and how the strips are wired?

In my reply above i mean checking the driver if it's compatible to be used with a dimmer!

Yes I got that and it's a key question.
I was on another tack about how the strips were wired.
But I guess we'll never know as the OP posted the question two and a half months ago now, and hasn't responded since
