Hi all, after our remodel we put in some dimmable LED bulbs with a dimmable LED switch. Here is the problem, after around 5 minutes of the lights being on full intensity they start to flicker. If we turn down the dimmer switch a little bit then they settle down and rarely flicker after that.
I thought it may of been a bad switch, however we have 7 switches in the house all of them the same and all of them flicker. Does anyone know how to fix this issue because my wife is about to make me yank them out of the wall and get new ones put in, but they are like $20 each. Thanks in advance.

no idea. I have led track lights on a dimmer switch and no issues.

Are all of the bulbs the same as well?
Might be worth picking up a couple different brand bulbs to verify it isn't the bulbs fault.

Some bad/cheaper LEDs will blink. Dimming is not the issue.

The dimmer could be the issue. Swap the suspect dimmer with another one that you are not having issues with to see if the problem continues.
