See question in title. The flush mount integrated LED I’m using flickers a ton despite using a bypass. Are there any flat or flush mount LEDs that anyone has found that work in a non-neutral setup that does not flicker? I’m looking for a thin wafer light or something like the below?

This is for a single-pole switch/light. It’s actually above my kitchen sink so a little more annoying because it feels like I’m washing dishes in a haunted house. Recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
An approved light. No. I have many of these lights in our home due to ceiling height, I had a setup for about a 6 months on the non neutral setup using the Aeotec Bypass. Switch had to be setup as on/off as the dimmer function makes the Bypass freak out. After about 6the light controller burned out, (Like actually burned/melted) Thought it was a fluke and got it replaced under warranty and installed the replacement back. It took only 4 months for it to burn out again.
Now I have many of these in our home and all the others continue to work without issue. I have noticed many LED fixtures burn out when using the bypass, most likely due to the content low power going across.
However I do have a fix for you if you are a DIY kind of person. I needed the light and wanted the switch for it, however no neutral was the issue. So I thought out side the box and got me a SONOFF zbmini. and took my fixture down and started to check the lines to see what was hot and neutral at the light and what ones went back to the switch.
I was lucky enough to have the power going to the fixture then to the light, so I shut my breaker off, and started to do some rewiring. I wired the 2 lines that come and go from the switch directly to the line and neutral. So now the switch would jus have the line and neutral (and ground) in the box but noting to control the light. This is where the ZBmini comes in. I then wired the zbmini into the light box to the line and neutral and then utrned the breaker back on, paired the new zbmini to hubitat and then did the zigbee Binding with the switch directly to the zb mini.
once that was done working I turned my breaker off again and now installed the light to the zbmini and turned the breaker back on.
Now the switch controls the zbmini via zigbee and my light turns on and off without issue. and no burnouts since. I now have 5 of this throughout my home setup like this due the way the home was wired. So I get the lights I needed and switches I want.
Good luck.
