  • Some people are more sensitive to flicker than others.

    125Hz sounds a bit low to me, considering that many people complain of flicker from standard fluorescent lamps - which is 100Hz over here.

    Erik has much experience in this area...

    Personally, I find that I see the flicker in lots of the LED exterior lamps used on cars mowadays. It's not so much when I look directly at them, but when they cross my field of view...

    I once had a bunch of people looking at a 24*132 LED sign.
    all saw flicker at 75Hz
    some saw flicker at 100HZ
    none saw flicker at 120Hz
