hi, i recently installed two exterior LEDS upon connection to the driver and powering up the seemed to flash and flicker i thought it was possible i may have had them reverse pole so i swapped and got no light at all i assume i had them connected correctly the first time but why the flicker? any clues

they are out side running from an swa into an adaptable box where the driver is housed and then off to they are no where nere any other power sources

 
check the output voltage on the driver....

and make sure it matches the lamp

 
firstly, did you buy this as a new kit or have you decided to replace existing lamps for new led?

reason i ask is that LED bulbs can have problems with some electronic transformers due to their low energy consumption (most electronic transformers require a minimum load that is higher than the wattage the bulb is consuming), e.g. load Min 20w and Max 60w

usual problems include not switching on and/or flickering.
