One of the primary reasons for LED light strobing is voltage fluctuations. LED lights require a stable power supply to function correctly. If the voltage supplied to your LED lights is inconsistent, it can cause them to flicker or strobe. Voltage fluctuations can occur due to a variety of reasons, including:

LED lighting has revolutionized the way we illuminate our homes and workplaces. They are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and come in various colors and designs to suit every aesthetic. However, it can be concerning and frustrating if you've recently noticed your LED lights flickering or strobing. While LED lights are known for their reliability, strobing can indicate an underlying issue that needs attention.

ILLUMINATE is a festival celebrating the intersection between art and technology. Utah Arts Alliance works with a wide variety of artists, makers, performers, and community partners to showcase innovative creativity through large scale art pieces, an interactive STEAM Lab, drone shows, and multimedia artwork. Through ILLUMINATE, Downtown SLC is turned into a canvas for light, art, technology, and innovation.

While LED lights are generally long-lasting and durable, the quality of LED bulbs can vary. Cheap or low-quality LED bulbs may have components that degrade faster, leading to strobing issues. Investing in high-quality LED bulbs from reputable manufacturers is essential to avoid such problems.

An electrician can thoroughly inspect your wiring and connections, identify any issues, and provide the necessary repairs or replacements.

If you notice your LED lights flickering or strobing, it's crucial to address the issue promptly to ensure the safety and performance of your lighting system.

Utah Arts Alliance seeks support for ILLUMINATE, an interactive light art and technology festival held in downtown SLC. As Salt Lake’s technology industry grows, Utah Arts Alliance is committed to showing the valley how art and technology are intertwined. By sponsoring ILLUMINATE, you are helping showcase the future of art, supporting independent artists, and bringing innovative, interactive art to our community.

ILLUMINATE brings together local and regional artists whose works highlight light, technology, and art. Take your time to explore the whimsical creations from mobile art cars, roving performers and installations sprinkled throughout Library Square and 200 East.

With projection mapping, artists combine light, space, and technology to create magical scenes on seemingly ordinary spaces, like the Salt Lake City Public Library! Objects are not just projected onto a flat surface, they are designed to wrap around buildings and mold to their shape, pixel by pixel, turning common objects into interactive 3D displays. For ILLUMINATE, local artists have designed a projection show you can enjoy throughout the festival.

Faulty wiring or loose connections can also cause LED lights to strobe. These issues can be challenging to identify and fix without professional assistance. Poorly installed wiring, damaged cables, or loose connections can interrupt the steady flow of electricity to your LED lights, resulting in flickering or strobing.

LED lights are sensitive to the type of dimmer switches used. If you have installed LED lights on a dimmer switch that is incompatible with LEDs, it can lead to strobing issues. Traditional dimmer switches designed for incandescent bulbs may not be suitable for LEDs because they operate on different principles.

Seek the expertise of a licensed professional electrician to find the real problem. Attempting DIY fixes for electrical issues can be dangerous and may lead to further complications.

LED lights offer numerous benefits but can develop strobing issues for various reasons, including voltage fluctuations, compatibility issues, poor-quality bulbs, and wiring problems.
