Weirdass question, sorry lmao
I noticed our recent remodel has a cool white LED eternal flame, which, yay power savings it’s 2024 everything should be LED except holiday lights (technology connections is correct, blue LED holiday lights are bad).
However, that got me thinking. LEDs notoriously flicker, although some have smoothing capacitors now. For the cheaper/older LEDs that don’t have those, are they still considered “eternal” even if they’re flashing on and off hundreds of times per second? If so, what does this imply, and does it only count as not-eternal if the human eye can detect the flicker at sub-100hz? Would a strobe count?
