That's the sort of fraud which enabled LED to gain the popularity in the 1st place, during 15 years in which it was NOT the most efficient light source
If the same effort and resources would be put into traditional lighting, we might have had 200 Lm/W halides and 120 Lm/W Fluorescents by now
The page i linked is as old as the existence of Tiktok as whole, and is by far not the earliest example on the internet
Regarding Fluorescents and flicker - Yep, they do flicker, and even at 100Hz here
My workshop right now is lit up with 36W T8's and the outside has a 400W halide, all on magnetic gear, and you don't see the flicker at all because it is soft. You really have to set up a test to detect it
Nearly all LED high bay luminaires on the market have mad squarewave flicker that you immediately see with your eyes
Although if we had focused on conventional lighting technologies we would not have the versatility of LED.Take a deformable garage light for example-the type that screws into a light socket. It would be *possible* to do that with fluorescent. But it would be a bit bulkier and somewhat dimmer. There are so many things that you can only really do with LED........but not all of them are only possible with it.
