the flickering is in the high end of what some humans can just perceive. It's not that they are going on and off ten times per second. I estimate it ion the 80+ Hz range. A technician must know this better, though. and like not all people see or see not a CRT with 75 Hz as a stable, non-flickering picture, not all people are vulnerable to this light flickerign issue as well. I just perceive it if my eyes are looking beside the bulb at a by a certain range of around 20 cm - I do not see it in the room, or when looking into the bulb. But there are people who see it inside an area of 50-100 cm around the bulb. It also depends on the light bulb, there are technical differences.
Also: "
more expensive" does not necessarily translate into "better": tests that were occasionally published in media or on TV showed that the cheap no name bulbs often do as good pr even better concenring Lumen-value, warm up time, endurance. The worst bulbs I have bought - all are established great company names. Those I would eventually accept before these, were non name-bulbs.
Currently only in my basement cellar a 25W (=120W) bulb is working. that is a nice trick, if you need slightly brighter light, but cannot install a higher Watt-bulb due to limitations of the wire or lamp. since energy saver need less poiwer, you can ake those that equal a Watt value that is hopelessly beyond any such limits. I had a limit of 50W, but now run that 25 energy saver that roughly equals a 120W bulb. It is brighter. not much, but enough to make a difference.
