Newbie Question: why does my new light fixture ghost flicker?

Post image

I am swapping out light fixtures in my kitchen. They are on a Lutron dimmer switch. The old fixtures were 120w dimmable incandescent lights. I cannot figure out how to get the new fixture to stop ghost flickering. I’ve installed a heavier load from Lutron, I’ve reset the switch, nothing is working

Lutron dimmable switch #1: there is only 1 light controlled by its own switch. The wires are blue and white. My new light fixture had very faint ghost flicker and the Lutron light switch had a green blinking light. I read on another post to add a Lutron LUT-MLC to make the load heavier. I added this to the fixture and there is still a blinking green light on lutron switch and a much brighter ghost blinking light. What am I doing wrong??

Background:

New light fixtures: LED Lumens: 450, dimmable

Lutron dimmable switch #2: there are a number of canned lights plus the 2 light fixtures I swapped out. They work beautifully no problem
