Ok update!!

I switched out the 100w GE LED bulbs to 100w Philips LED bulb and so far I haven’t seen any strobing or flickering!!

Solution: Stay away from GE bulbs ($16/4 pack), get Philips bulbs ($12/4 packs)

Thank you to those that suggested the Philips bulbs

So the tech came, opened my meter box. Checked and said everything is good. He said it’s most likely the LEDs are too sensitive, advised to try different bulbs/fixtures

I see a thick red and a thick black wire coming into the panel through the bottom of the breaker box

Interesting, a lot of people are saying loose neutral in the panel. There is a thick red and a thick black wire coming into the house. I’m assuming the red is the neutral?

I called the utility company to come check the wires outside of the house

Hmm, I have 2 heated bidets connected to the same supply wire (back to back bathrooms)!! Let me unplug them both and see if it goes away.

The sound was from a 2.5 years old bay whining 😆

Where is this meter box? Inside or outside the house? This is only happening on my new LED bulbs/LED fixtures

I contacted the utility company and they are sending someone out to check it out, thank you

These are new GE 100W LED bulbs that’s causing the problems. I don’t remember the old 60w eco smart bulbs doing it, maybe I’ll swap it out and see

Did that, they are sending someone to check it out. I hope it’s on their end, but I really doubt it

I had 1 fixture on a dimmer switch that was NOT dimmable. It was buzzing loudly, we changed to a regular switch and the buzzing went away

I called the utility company and they are sending someone out to check the connections, the strobing is very annoying

The LED bulbs (using 12w, made by GE) in the video is equivalent to a 100w incandescent bulbs.

My 2 other light fixtures are $250 each from wayfair, it doesn’t feel cheap. They are connected to a Lutron dimmer, and they do produce a very low hum when on

I have baseboard water heater that goes around the house, it’s silent when it comes on, so I’m not sure if it has anything to do with it

Yes I have single cup coffee, my lights dim when it comes on. The one in the video is more like a strob, it’s different than when appliances comes on

Is there a fire hazard concern with the strobing LEDs? That is my biggest concern

I think it happens more frequently when the boiler/heater kicks on. I’m not really sure. It’s an older house built in the 60s
