Help w/ flickering LEDs using unknown IC - drop-in replacement?

so strange that the same lights go through a totally different power supply. the BP2863 is non dimmable led control, from the data sheet (from memory), which means, surely, that the entire light is also non dimmable. right? dimming circuits could make the flickering effect. Am i stupid, is there is dimming effect being applied to some of the led panels?

what have you stumbled upon?
