LED are voltage sensitive and if the input voltage drops below the requirem=
ent (12v) the lamp most likely will flicker. This is unlike the incandesce=
nt lamps that just are a bit dimmer in this situation. Check the voltage a=
t the lamp or at least at the output connection of the control switch. I=E2=
=80=99m not sure why they ultimately fail but the do.
