Why is my LED flush mount ceiling light flickering?

An LED flush mount flickers because the dimmer does not match the driver, a splice is loose, or the driver is failing. A hot canopy or a burning smell means the breaker stays off.

1. Turn the dimmer to full. If the flicker stops, use the listed dimmer or an on/off switch.
2. With the breaker off, reseat the wire connectors.
3. If it still flickers on a plain switch, replace the flush mount.
