Nobody's reported a flicker with the 5P yet, but who knows until somebody does? At any rate, it's a result of the "green" electronics mandates the feds imposed and one that didn't work quite as well as it should have. You can reduce/eliminate the flicker in my experience in two ways: having it on a dedicated circuit on an exclusive breaker, or using a high capacity surge and/or UPS to guard against this getting past the device and into the house/office wiring. The heavy duty industrial Tripp filters seemed to work, but are very costly.
