1 LED light out of 4 in series flickers

I have a series of four BR30 LEDs in recessed lighting where the same bulb flickers occasionally and randomly. The other three LED bulbs never flicker. I changed out the bulb and same thing happened. I have a Lutron dimmer that works with other LEDs so I don't believe that to be the issue. What's even weirder, the same thing happens in my basement with a series of five or six BR30 LEDs -- only one bulb and always the same one.

Can any experts out there diagnose the issue? Thanks in advance.

just trying to be sure I understand what the problem is.. when you say "I have a series of four BR30 LEDs in recessed lighting where the same bulb flickers occasionally and randomly. The other three LED bulbs never flicker. I changed out the bulb and same thing happened", do you mean that one socket will cause any bulb placed in it to flicker? i.e. the flickering is a property of that socket? Or do you mean that one bulb will always flicker, regardless of which socket it is placed in?

If it's one bulb that's a problem, then obviously it should be replaced.

If it's one socket that's a problem, you should let us know where it is in the string. i.e. is it closest to the dimmer, furthest, or somewhere in between?
