On advice of electrical counsel, I'll be replacing two three-way switches in the basement to see if they will help our LED lights from randomly flickering.
We've been dealing with random flickering in our basement lights pretty much since I put them in a few years ago. For a long while, it was one fixture that would randomly flicker, then stop for a while, then flicker again. Now that one seems to behave nicely but the other one has picked up the habit, and I can't explain it. We finally asked a friend of ours who studied as an electrical engineer, and she suggested the switches might be the problem. It's possible -- the switches in the wall have been there since the house was built in the mid-80s, and I'm pretty sure I've replaced just about every electrical outlet in the house because they were just worn out. Maybe the same thing has happened to the switches. I hope that solves the problem, because it's been a real pain.
