Why does my outside light keep flashing?
Why does my outside light keep flashing?
Flickering or blinking lights are usually caused by one of four things: Problem with the bulb (not in tight enough, wrong bulb type for dimmer switch) Faulty light or fixture switch. Appliance pulling large amounts of current on startup, causing a voltage drop.
Why are my led flood lights flashing on and off?
LED flood lights flashing on and off or blinking fast can be quite troublesome. Moreover, the flickering can leave you clueless about the problem that is causing it. Intermittent flickering can be a sign of technical problems. But also, a flash with a dimmer can signal a dimming problem.

Otherwise buy Intermatic timer with 5 year warranty. If the photoeye is causing timer to blink, then it is sign of bad transformer.
Why does my CFL light keep flickering and blinking?
Dimmers are made to handle higher electrical loads and don’t always play well with lower-voltage LEDs. More about dimmer switches…they don’t work well with most fluorescent and non-dimmable CFL bulbs. To avoid flickering, make sure you use only dimmable bulbs that are compatible with your switch. Is the flickering problem only with one lamp?

Dimmers are part of the circuit that is attached to the floodlight for better handling of higher electrical loads. In the earlier versions of floodlights when incandescent and CFL bulbs were used, the dimmers were made to handle high voltage devices, which would not work well with LEDs, which are in fact low-voltage bulbs.
