Does the item randomly flicker though the various modes? (Perhaps I am unlucky to get a defective one..)

No flickering. But if run for extended times it will damage internal wiring. Not if , when.

I haven't noticed any flicker. There's 2 settings, bright and slightly dimmer but definitely no flicker.

I haven't had any flickering in my lights. You may have a faulty connection that is arcing.

Mine changes when I turn it off & turn it back on. It will flash when I turn it on, then when I turn it off, then back on, it changes again, then it will do it over again. Try turning it off, ten back on & see what it does. If it keeps flashing all of the time, you must have a defective switch. But I'd try turning it off, then on. That supposedly changes the mode it is in.

I have not experienced this problem either. You may want to swap it out...I really enjoy mine. It's worth the effort to get one that is working properly.

I guess one thing to rule out is the input. If you have component cables instead of hdmi, you might have one of them loose. Also like they have said, to reset your pictures setting to default. Also try different sources if you can (Cable, dvd, blu ray) to see if it does it on all of them. The off brand one I bought has a slow warm up time and randomly starts to flicker the screen slightly. I learned my lesson and I will buy the more expensive factory replacement when this one goes out. Let us know if you still are having trouble after trying these things.

I just unplugged the power from my second device and tried it, and it worked for a moment before it began flickering (failed). So at least in my case with a PS3 and PS4, they both need to be on (Standby suffices).EDIT: Wanted to clarify, it seems the devices just need to be powered, but not necessarily flipped on.

Mine does the same thing and it works perfectly - my suggestion is don't worry about the lights - also, sometimes you have to give the system time to change so don't be in a big rush - good luck, I really like it.

I didn't have that problem but there was a glitch in mine which made my screen flicker. I believe that it's a manufacturing issue. If you can't get it to work, is send it back and ask for another one

I have 4 lights total and 2 have always worked perfectly, 1 has never worked and the 4th only ever "glowed" until last night, when I pulled it apart again, flipped switches and reinstalled batteries. Magically it seems perfect now. So, I'd suggest playing with it a bit.

It must be defective. Usually when lights flicker there's a loose wire involved. I would return it. Hope this helps.

I have not had this issue. When it's flickering, is there a chance that another appliance is using a huge draw, such as a tank-less hot water heater?

Mine only has 3 modes high low and strobe but it cycles through the modes with the on-off switch.

I had a problem with the lighter adaptor so I hard wired mineThere are times when it does flicker

try covering up the day/night sensor with your finger and see if it still flickers? if not, then you might be getting reflections so it sees that it is dark, turns on, illuminates its own sensor, and thinks it is daytime again. I had a problem like that with a motion sensor light. might double check your power source if it's not that. mine has been running solid every night for months using a POE adapter.I've had mine

My guess is you got a defective one. They are fairly inexpensive to begin with, so it wouldn't be a long shot if you ended up getting one that was malfunctioning the way you are describing. My advice is to just send it back to Amazon so they can replace it with another one. I know it's an inconvenience, but in the end, you'll be glad you did. It's a great light, especially when it works the way it's supposed to.

I have the flicker with mine with YouTube and other video sources as well. Not sure what the problem is yet but I'm looking into it.
