If the LED has good DC conversion it should not flicker at all, the flow across the diode would be constant. Just buy good LEDs, incandescent light has many drawbacks.

- Less efficient - Shorter lifespan - Some of them contain harmful materials/gasses - Metal fatigue when turned on/off frequently

Probably there are more
