I have a lumatek 600w. I love it. I have never had a flicker issue. check my journal in my signature to see more details about my setup.

Thankyou.

ur bulb may be going bad...i had the same problem with my magnetic ballast... bulb blew, then replaced it and it was fine.

Make sure the bulb is screwed in all the way, and check any other loose connections. Try a different outlet if none of that works

Its only had 2 months use!, how do you find out what spectrum your bulb is?

I have to use this outlet as it is the only one available that can be dedicated to the grow!

Thanks for the advice tho!

it should tell u on the bulb box what spectrum it is, if not then google what type of bulb it is(it'll be printed on the glass) and like xtensity said double check its screwed in, i know that sounds stupid but i've done it more than once. take the bulb all the way out, switched off obviously and check the little plate at the bottom of the bulb holder is far enuff out to contact, sometimes they get bent in.
