2000:1::1 would expand to 2000:0001:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001

2000::1::1 could be 2000:0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0000:001, or 2000:00000000:0001:0000:0000:0000:001

I find Philips brand bulbs appear to have circuitry to "smooth out" the voltage and provide consistent light levels. I use my phone camera's slow motion mode to record my bulbs and see the flicker. Every brand I've tested via the above method, save for Philips, have suffered from flicker.

Give Philips a try? May just be worth the premium. Hopefully a standard like the one mentioned in a comment below is put into place.
