Hi all I’m new here.

I’ve just installed 25m of ip68 led strip lights round my garden. 8w per meter. They came on just a plug top. Installed it all then plugged in brilliant. Just what we wanted. Now I’ve cut the plug off and gone through a photocell. But now when they come on at dusk they flicker. I’ve since changed the photocell to a time clock and still the same. Any ideas on how to get round the flickering. If I just plug it in there fine.
Thanks in advanced

The photo cell may have an electronic switch action rather than relay contacts. The LED driver may not work well with it.
