My guess is that the lamp is too sensitive. I find that the cheapest LED bulb from home depot flicker whether using inverter power or generator power. All other LEDs in the house work fine. Like a fool, I keep buying the cheap ones. I totally agree with Andrew " While I can understand the need to placate clients, the days of solar martyrdom needs to end! " Being in the darkest time of year, I spend way too much time placating.
