I don't understand why LED rear lights flicker like a fast strobe. They are being fed 12V DC aren't they? So they have no reason to strobe. Educate me OcUK, why do they do it?
I'm guessing you're quite sensitive to CRT monitors, too? Also I bet you can see the "rainbow effect" on DLP projectors?

I notice they flicker as you look away from them, somthing to do with your eyes/brain?
Quite distracting tbh.
Yes, I can see both.If you have sensitive eyes, then you can see the flicker - most LEDs (especially when low-power usage, such as cat's eyes) are driven by PWM - Pulse Width Modulation - it "pulses" power to and from the LED, and the faster it's done, the brighter it will go. With most LEDs, you can drive them at ~50% modulation, and they'll appear to most people as static, and on fully.
