Great lights until it starts flickering (read: only when using power hungry devices)

I really hope Amico will reach out to me about this and help resolve this matter, as I bought two sets of these and installed them all over my house prior to experiencing the issue.I have been experiencing flickering with these lights. I initially thought they were all working fine and dandy, even those that are on older, analog dimmer switches. They dim up/down with no flickering at all, and work as expected. The color temps are good and accurate as well, really bright too.However, I began to notice that whenever something connected to the same breaker draws a decently high amount of power, the lights will start to flicker, in tune with the device that draws that significant power. This happens even if the lights are installed with new digital dimmer switches. A couple of examples: Whenever I power on my steamer to steam my clothes, and it cycles between on and off, the lights will flicker. Another case is when I use my PC in my home office, the lights will flicker depending on what I do on my PC. In the video example I posted with this review, you'll see that by me sliding a slider on my Premiere Pro app back and forth, I can trigger the lights to flicker in tune with the slider's motion. Also when I play a game, the lights will flicker randomly.I really don't want to have to buy 10 new lights and throw these away, but this is becoming really annoying, especially when it flickers over silly things like sliding a slider in one of my PC apps. As mentioned earlier, I hope Amico will help fix this issue for me, one way or another.
