How to Stop an LED Light From Flickering

LED lights have replaced incandescent bulbs for many uses, including table and floor lamps. The normal cycling of an LED light can cause flickering that is often visible. To stop the flickering, add a power conditioner to the line supplying the power to the LED. A power conditioner can be bought at an electronics store and requires no expertise to set up or use.
