The flickery LEDs require a DC voltage source in order to operate the little circuit that flickers the LED. However, most solar yard lights rapidly flash the LEDs to dim them for low power. In cases like that, there isn’t really any DC voltage there to power the flickering LEDs– it’s like turning off power to your computer every second– it will never boot all the way to the desktop.
