Hi Guys,
I have an update regarding my flashing lights. I had an engineer at my home that measured the current in both lights fixtures and wall sockets with several equipment including a digital real-time oscilloscope. He came to the conclusion that the flickering is caused by the ripple frequency the power utility sends out in the area. I also went and chatted to some street neighbours and many of them experience the same flashing. It seems the ripple frequency affects all dimmers which are sensitive and thus causing the lights to flicker. I was delighted to hear that the issues is not in my house as most of you already suspected. The question is how would I bypass or get council to assist me in this matter? I have no ripple relays in my home - I'm guessing the power utility still uses ripple signalling in the area which causes harmonics in our homes. Could anyone advise what I could do? The ripple comes through in all three phases. I glad we've found the cause but the question is how do we solve it?
