How to Stop LED Lights Flickering When Recording Videos

Have you ever noticed LED lights flickering when recording videos with your smartphone or camera? This common issue doesn’t always mean your LED lights are faulty. Flickering can occur when your camera’s frame rate and shutter speed don’t match the lighting frequency.

How to Reduce LED Flickering on Camera

  1. Adjust Your Camera Settings

Check your camera’s frame rate and shutter speed. Matching these settings to the lighting frequency can help minimize visible flickering in your recordings.

  1. Choose the Right Frame Rate and Shutter Speed

In regions using a 50Hz electrical supply, such as the UAE, try recording at 25 or 50 FPS with a shutter speed of 1/50 or 1/100 second. These settings can help reduce flickering caused by certain LED lighting systems.

  1. Check Your LED Driver and Dimming System

Still experiencing LED flickering? The issue may be related to your LED driver, dimming system, or the way the light output is regulated.

  1. Consider Low-Flicker LED Lighting

For environments regularly used for filming, photography, or video production, choose LED lighting systems designed for low-flicker performance to achieve more consistent lighting on camera.
