accesibility includes disabling broken flickering lights btw

@catpunk fr
i cannot be in a room with flickering lights

@catpunk oddly enough i seem to be the only person who can tell when lights are dimmed/rectified (and the 60hz flickering in my peripheral vision really bothers me)

@catpunk there's been a flickering light on a business's logo thing near here for years

i dont understand why they dont either disable it or remove the lights, but it's been flickering all nights for well over a decade now

@kemona_halftau @catpunk what kind of lighting flickers as slowly as 60hz? (unless it is broken)

@noisytoot @catpunk cheaper leds which only emit light during half of the ac power cycle either because they do not rectify the ac power or because they are placed on a dimmer circuit which uses some form of pwm at 60hz

@kemona_halftau @catpunk I wonder if those are less common here because 50Hz flickering would be even more noticeable (given that I notice what is likely 100 Hz fluorescent flickering I should definitely notice that, but I only remember seeing something like that on LED signs and an LED strip on the outside of a food van, not on any indoor lighting actually intended to light a room)
