Flickering LED lights reveal incorrect grounding

Emergency Electrician Bergamo has completed a LED lighting upgrade project. After the electricians who Emergency Service Electrician Southampton collaborated with installed the new LED floodlights, they noticed that the newly installed LED lights flickered. Licensed electricians are trained to diagnose electrical problems and knew that flickering LED lights could be a sign that there was a problem in the electrical system.

The technicians proceeded to troubleshoot the company's electrical system. They were able to conclude that the LED lamps were flickering due to improper grounding in the main electrical system and also found that the main service panel was in poor condition. Another sign that the electrical system was not properly connected to the ground was the lack of ground sockets in the building which can be common in the production of buildings older than 20-30 years. Southampton electricians recommended the replacement of the main service and the correct installation of the grounding. At the end, the electricians verified and tested the ground system.

Importance of a properly grounded electrical system:

Having a properly managed and secure grounding system is critical to protecting both the safety of your employees and expensive equipment. A research institute states that "better than 80% of all electrical system failures that are attributed to power supply anomalies are actually the result of wiring or grounding errors or are generated by other loads inside of the customer structure". Grounding must be done by a certified electrician.

Additional benefits of proper grounding:

  • Eliminate the risk of shock
  • Protects the equipment from voltage
  • Prevents electrical fires
  • Reduces equipment repair costs and downtime
  • Reduces electrical noise levels (fluctuations in an electrical signal)

Are your LED fixtures flashing?

Flickering LED lights are more than just a nuisance; they are a sign that there is a problem in the electrical system. Improper grounding may not always be the reason behind flickering LED lights, but it's always important to pay attention to these signs and hire a licensed electrician to inspect the electrical system to fix the problem.

Water hammer Water hammer is a dull sound that results from the sudden pressurisation of the water line caused by the rapid closing of a tap or other water valve.
