I'm a fan of the new LED bulbs---good color and they are supposed to last for 10 to 15 years.
I've installed many of them--no failures yet.

I really wonder what brands of LED you were using as I have NEVER noticed any 'flicker" on any of mine, which are all "Philips".I will never be convinced of those led bulbs. They contribute to many health problems. I was getting calls from tenants that those bulbs gave them headaches after I put them in. The flicker rate is abnormal.
I will go back to oil lamps before I have an led light in my house.
I think you need to fix the power issues in your property. LED's don't flicker unless you have power issues.I will never be convinced of those led bulbs. They contribute to many health problems.

You do have flickering you just don't see it. The thing is all those bulbs flicker to some degree. But they often flicker below a threshold that is noticeable. That doesn't mean that they still can't have an adverse health effect on some people.I think you need to fix the power issues in your property. LED's don't flicker unless you have power issues. Every bulb in my house is either CFL or LED. I have NO flickering.
I don't have to have both.....Wow- You have to have LED's AND occupancy sensors?
All this 'energy savings' cracks me up. People continue to build huge houses, with electric water heaters, heat pumps, ovens, clothes dryers, etc. Yeah, light bulbs are the problem....
While I'm ranting, I wonder what the power bill is on a 5 acre Home Depot store? In the old days, the only heat at a lumberyard was the office- if you were lucky.
You're going to have to prove that one to me.You do have flickering you just don't see it. The thing is all those bulbs flicker to some degree. But they often flicker below a threshold that is noticeable. That doesn't mean that they still can't have an adverse health effect on some people.
I liken them to vaccinations in that some small minority of people have adverse reactions but overall they are a good thing.
Great links. If Cree admits that LEDs used in these applications flicker, I have to believe them.Here are a couple links I would deem fairly reliable. I can get more.
