Quoted from Rager170:it is flickering every so slightly and not allowing the barn to "twinkle" as if on fire".
I can tell you that mine barely flickers as well and I do not have an extra diode installed. So, I'm not sure that is your problem. I really haven't had time to investigate as to why mine doesn't really flicker, but it still is a cool looking mod.
Also, your video is marked private so we can't see it.
