Battery Operated light causing flickering on camera?

Post Body

So I bought this light to use for climbing at night. The light itself is great and while it doesn't seem like 8000 lumens it does the job plenty well. The unexpected issue I ran into is that on camera the light causes flickering that just about ruins any video I take with them. My guess is that the hz of the light is dropping below the frame rate of the camera. What I don't understand is that doing testing I can use 60fps recording just fine until about 1m15s of the light being on, then the flickering begins. Once the flickering begins I can't even run 30fps recording without it being horrible. I'm able to repeat this every single time on multiple of these lights. What could be causing the light to be operating above 60hz for the first minute but then drop below 30hz thereafter every single time?

It is a battery operated light but I see this issue regardless of the charge. I will say it is substantially worse on my GoPro 9/mirrorless camera vs my galaxy s21 for the same frame rates but I'm guessing samsung has some kind of smoothing AI it uses that is the cause for that difference. Looking for input on both why that could be happening and if there is anything I can potentially do to fix it (unlikely I know)
