I had never installed a dimmer with those lights. I had checked the wiring from the fixture back to the panel and found no issues. It was interesting that the lights would operate correctly until after an hour and then the flickering would begin. I ended up buying some home depot track lighting and returning the other lights.

The lamps I installed were dimmable leds and after I installed a dimmer that would work with them. Quite happy with this.

I had converted some low voltage pendants to line voltage with some Depot pendant light kits that were available, Worked out really well.

I know track isn't the most fashionable thing right now but if it keeps me from crawling around in the attic space, it is money well spent.
