It’s not, though.

First, this driver actually specifies flicker, and it has a credible number. Second, I own several and have tested them. Performance is excellent. It dims well, too. If you want a crappy driver, you don’t need to spend $25 for it :)

Second, this LED chip is a serious one, with a serious data sheet, intended for people building their own fixtures.

Thanks, your posts were illuminating. I'm not looking forward to replacing my ancient quartz floor lamp, but I'm not sure I'll be able to buy a 3rd replacement bulb, when it finally goes out.
