When the dimmer switch goes off and on many times per second the led bulb becomes a flickering strobe light.
Led light bulbs can be used in light fixtures controlled by dimmer switches but you may well find that traditional dimmers may not work or may work inadequately with some led bulbs.
This may be due to the type of light switch or dimmer or an incorrectly connected switch.

An incorrectly connected light switch or a switch with a night light can be responsible for flickering.
