re: #390 itellu3times

I’ve aways had a flicker problem with halogens. A well-designed CF will have very little flicker, I can’t see any on the ones I’m running.

I’d love to put you through a double-blind (!) test on these.

Halogens are just a specialized type of incandescent bulb, so they should have no flicker. And CFs have a “ballast” which is basically a switching power supply that runs at a few kHz, so the flicker rate should betoo fast to be perceptible. But possibly cheap ones could flicker at 60 Hz, or at the beat rate between 60 Hz and their internal time base.
