Flicker-free lighting and ceiling fans

This light strip is advertised as being flicker-free and visually appealing. However, this only applies if you are not using the remote control module or if you are using the remote control but leave it at 100%. When the light output is set to 50% or 25% (the other two options), it flickers at a low frequency. You can hear the light by plugging a small solar panel https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008J9BZIA into the 3.5mm jack of some headphones or PC speakers. When you do this, you may hear that the included power supply does not produce pure DC, but has pronounced high-frequency ripple. So I use a better power supply and then all you can hear is white noise, I think it's diode noise. I'm trying to replace a 24" LED strip that sits above my kitchen counter and flickers slightly at 60Hz. This product is good but not that bright. I have to scroll it back and forth 6 times to get the same light output as the light I'm trying to replace. Not that I need to adjust the power output - I could easily cook with a single CP3 light bar - but this product might be better for lighting stairs and shelves etc where brightness is less important. The photos show a solid white line. , which is mostly true, but you can personally see that there are slightly brighter spots where the LEDs are, they're about 1cm apart. No problem for me, I would buy it again.

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • Expensive
