Took some slo-mo video of an LED
and an incandescent flashing on/off
during attract mode on a dr. dude. (1/6th speed)
This reveals two main things:
1. LEDs go immediately on and off, incandescents rise and fall.
This results in those "traveling" strips of flashing lamps appearing
to have a much different effect from one another.
2. LEDs actually strobe very quickly, incandescents have a steady burn.
Strobing is said to cause eye strain, fatigue.
There is some fluorescent ambient light in the
video too, which strobes.
There's not much love out there for the burny-hot
juice-sucking short-life-having tungsten lamps
but in certain ways they're still the cadillac of lighting.
