Fluorescent Lights flicker at a few hundred times per second. Even though the human eye cannot see this, fluorescent lights cause headaches.

  • @mystica55121234 They flicker but it's not visible to human eyes... or as visible. Whenever I sit in my room which is has a fluorescent light and a fluorescent backlit monitor it's like a disco.

    AND if it is an AC rectified (trying to emulate DC) LED it runs at 120hz not 60hz. You don't rectify DC.

  • Don't LEDs use Pulse Width Modulation to control brightness? Like your laptop computer / phone LCDs backlit with LEDs? This is flicker plain and simple. Also, if you simply string enough 3volt LEDs in line to equal a 120v draw, and put them on a string (LED Christmas lights) they also flicker at 60hz, as they are diodes; only 1/2 of the current flows the right way for them. So, how do yours propose to never flicker? To never at all dim, and to mitigate A/C flicker by DC rectification?
