Why are my LED strip lights flickering different colors?
Drop in LED Voltage Your LED strip lights might be flickering because of fluctuations in voltage. All electrical appliances, including strip lights, need a constant voltage supply to work smoothly. If the voltage drops for any reason, the entire length of the strip will flicker, and its brightness will decrease.
What does it mean when a LED light flickers?
So what’s causing the flicker? But most commonly, LED bulbs may flicker or dim in your home when there are voltage fluctuations in your home’s wiring. When electrical loads turn on and off in your home, this creates a change in voltage levels, which may cause the LED lights to occasionally dim or flicker.
Why does my 5050 LED strip draw as much power as?

What are the different types of LED strips?
There are two primary types of colored LED strip: fixed single color, and color changing. A fixed color LED strip emits just one color, and the operating principle is just like the white LED strips we discussed above. A color-changing LED strip consists of multiple color channels on a single LED strip.
What kind of dimmer do I need for LED strips?
There are two methods of dimming LED strips: a traditional phase-cut wall-dimmer, or a DC low-voltage dimmer. The AC phase-cut dimmer approach is typically most ideal for residential and commercial lighting applications where the dimming input signal comes from a traditional wall-switch dimmer. This setup requires a TRIAC dimmable power supply.
How do you mount a LED strip on a circuit board?
The backside of the LED strip includes pre-applied double-sided adhesive. Simply peel off the liner, and mount the LED strip to virtually any surface. Because the circuitboard is designed to be flexible, LED strips can be mounted on curved and uneven surfaces.
