Is there a flicker or delay when turning on, or is it instantly on?

There isn't a flicker or a delay. However the light does have to warm up so it isn't as bright when you first turn it on. Also depending on who installed your light fixture when you first put the light bulb in keep the light turned on for an hour. We had to hire a electrician to tell us this because the builders that built our house messed up on the wiring and our light was burning out every six months in one of our bathrooms. The rest of the house the lights have lasted over three years now.

Very slight flicker when turning on -- not annoying at all. Instant on. However, they do flicker when it is time to change a bulb. I've had 20 in my family room ceiling since 1993. They are on constantly and I haven't had to change a bulb in over 15 months.

When plugged into power, the monitor still appears to be "off," with no blue screen or anything. When a video signal is supplied, the monitor powers on in under a second, but I don't know exactly how quick. The screen goes black (off) as soon as the video signal stops. Hope this helps!

I haven't had any problem. My husband thought it wasn't working after the electricity went out but we notice when the time flashes on the screen the system isn't turned on, it should be a steady light even if the time is wrong. Is the light on the on/off knob red? If its red its on stand by. Great sound from this sytstem, we like it.

I believe that the light is on when its plugged into a powered on device, in a USB port receiving power. Then the light flickers consistently when you read/write data on the drive.

I am sorry that I can not be of help, I have not noticed the flickering with mine in my setup. As others have suggested it may be defective and you may want to return it or exchange it.

I would say a second at the most for duration. As for display flicker, I would say it resembles "slideshow" change.

I assume you are talking about charging the unit, and if that is the case then J. Young is correct. You cannot seem to utilize the device while it is plugged in and charging. Another thing is that when it is charging the LED flickers all wacky like when it is on. Not a bad thing, but worth mentioning.

I don't think the light is supposed to flicker, mine doesn't. I think yours is not working properly.

I don't recall any significant or annoying delay. Maybe milliseconds, certainly not a second or more. Once switched, no display anomalys, BUT the computer that is connected/switched in upon boot up will connect at better resolution than the computer which is not, so one had a higher resolution than the other upon switching back and forth. Can't recall, but can probably set the 2nd computer resolution after switching.

New CFLs turn on within a second with no noticeable warm-up period. Rest at times it depends on the ambient temperature. In my case, it achieve its full brightness in almost no time.

I had the same problem with one switch I installed. I took it back out and found the ground was not tight. Once correct, it has been working fine. I am dimming LED's and they are smooth and flicker-free. My advice would to be certain the switch is grounded correctly. Hope that fixes it for you.

Hi Judy...i can't explain why it flickers. Mine flickered - or I should say the light screwed into it - in the twilight period before sunrise and sunset. Once it became totally dark or light, the flickering would stop. If your flickering continues during complete light or darkness then something is wrong with the unit if you had no problem with a standard bulb. I switched to an LED bulb with a built in dusk to dawn sensor and have not had any flickering issue.

Neither of the 2 I bought "flicker", they work great. Could you elaborate on what you mean?

Is it flipping on and off or just blinking? It seems to have a setting where the first switch on can end up being blinky.

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?

Idk but mine also blinks every 5-7 seconds as well. Everything works perfectly well otherwise. It's probably supposed to do that.

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
