Only during Big load surges ?

Could it be current limiting and because LEDs are so fast on and off, you notice the drop in momentary voltage ?

Any inverter might do that under the right conditions.

Just a thought.

I consider LED flicker as very common when a fridge starts up, but NOT while it's running. Both dimmed and not dimmed LEDs. I see flicker more often on systems with smaller (or aging) battery systems of course. The only particular appliance I have found causing constant flicker here and with my clients is a particular brand of laser printer. And also a subwoofer on the stereo (light show!)....a different subwoofer brand solved that problem. Go figure, I have no idea why. Most of my inverters are by Magnum. I have not found much difference with LED brands or dimmer brands. I can see how this could be a problem for your client, Kirpal. None of mine seem to mind a startup flicker, but if its constant that's a big problem. I wish I had an answer for you, but I hope that providing this information helps others. CFLs do not give me the same problem, but of course have their own other problems.

    Dimmers are super specific to light brand/type.  You'll have to do
    the research

    For now swapping to regular switches should work
