This also happens with other dimmer modules and also with lights on a standard rocker switch. What i have done now is connect one of these circuits to a separate bg rcbo and it seems to of sorted the problem on that circuit.??Anti-Flicker LED Adaptor Module - https://www.ledkia.com/uk/buy-accessories/4468-flash-save-anti-flicker-led-module.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiAic6eBhCoARIsANlox84KHdJbZD76O0-c7emY0nJBK3ZmOJHWyzuvx-7GU23aIxrw3NnQWucaAnO8EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Even though the technical spec' says there is no minimum load requirement for the VPro dimmer this may not always be the case with some LED lamps and/or lower illumination levels.
You could try one of these modules in parallel with one of the lamps controlled by a dimmer which may just ensure the minimum circuit current flow necessary to keep the triac/thyristor conducting so it does not occasionally turn of early in each half cycle and cause flicker, including during brief episodes of mains voltage dips.
Hi
Ive never seen this issue in 35years in the trade and wondered if anybody has any idears.
The property is a new build and the installation fitted by myself. We have 26 Aurora cx7 downlights on 3 seperate circuits and controlled by various switching configurations. All dimmer switches are Varilight V- pro modules and the consumer unit is the new Click Elusian split load board with SPD.
The lights flickers very randomly sometimes not for a day or 2. I have checked everthing. No loose connections. Aurora have sent new fittings which i have fitted. I've changed the dimmer modules but the problem is still there. Has anyone got any idear what this could be or has any body seen this before? I've now hit a wall as to where to look next.
Thanks
