LED lights flicker (sometimes)

[NearDenver]

2018 I3 - led lights over the table sometimes flicker. I think it's only the lights in this area but this is where we read so very noticable.
Plugged into power at campsite.
Any thoughts on fix? Defective light or wiring issue?
Anyone know if lights hard to replace?

Would likely replace the whole fixture, just cut two wires, splice on a new one. But lights flickering is fairly normal depending on how often and when. LED's are very voltage sensitive so things kicking on and off, especially at a campsite can trigger that. Some electronics can cause it as well. So replacing the light may not always correct it.

Do those lights just pop out?

Which light is it? picture

We've done small bullet lights, pancake lights and now we do drop down drum lights.

Are you using shore power through your inverter? Do they still flicker when just on battery? if not its your inverter...A friend of mine had this same problem.

Can't get pic till this weekend but it's the four small led lights over the "kitchen table". It may just be one of the four lights that flickers.

Does the flicker occur when the water pump runs?

Don't know. Just plugged into power and reading at table. Water pump never ran during that time. TV off but fridge on.

Gotcha. Mine will only flicker when the pump runs.

Those are what we call Bullet lights..they are spring clipped in. We call them "mouse trap latches"...you push the spring clips together and push them through the hole where they snap down into place. You pulled them straight out, fighting against the spring clips. Watch your fingers

Since these are the only lights you mentioned that flicker have you checked to see if they are seated in their socket well. Are they located in a slide out, you may have a wiring problem.

I’d take fixture out and check wire connections. Out of 8 led lights in mine, 3 started the flicker BS and all were poor wiring connections. Same old poor workmanship.

I have a few LED lights that flicker when they are first turned on. The flicker lasts for about 30 seconds and then stops. I always assumed it just took them a few seconds to warm up.

we replaced our lights in our popup with LED's a few years ago. we were concerned with this as well. your main problem is the quality of the lights themselves. my father in law had LED's installed in his brand new Cedar Creek and melted just about every single light cover. problem? first it was done at CW, second the lights were only rated for 12 volts. they could not handle a voltage drop or increase. your converter is capable of up to something like 14.4 volts. run 12v only leds on that for a bit and the driver board WILL get hot in a hurry or start to flicker. we installed LED's that could handle 8-20 volts DC. im sure that Brian will know if the lights being installed are able to handle a swing in voltage. you can check the voltage drop at each light fixture with a multi meter. our popup was WAY under powered. stared at 12.4 volts, turn on 2 lights, we were now at 10 volts. your coaches seem really really well built, but we had a very hard time finding leds that could handle the range of voltage and have enough light output.

My best friend's Georgetown has led lights in the living room ceiling and they were flickering and sometimes staying dim. I searched it out for him and it was a faulty 12volt circuit board. Found it by accident when I shut the door the lights got bright again.
