Hello everyone,

does anyone know if the Paulmann Spot Circle (URail) flickers a lot? Unfortunately, the Paulmann hotline cannot provide any information on this.

I am uncertain because I have a Paulmann LED that flickers quite noticeably. The flickering is visible to the naked eye. In many photos, you can see a distinct black band caused by the flickering (visible with my RX 100 M4).

Try connecting the Paulmann, for example, to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to ensure a stable voltage. If they still flicker, the issue is with Paulmann. If not, it’s your electrical system.

Well, not everyone necessarily has a UPS at home.

In any case, as Rick already said, try to narrow down the problem. Is the flickering happening everywhere? Maybe test it at a friend’s place. Does it flicker all the time or only at certain times?

For example, I wrote that there are other options for a power supply with a smoothed signal.

Isn't it a design flaw if the LED flickers even at its brightest setting? You would expect the PWM to be off in the brightest mode.
