I was puzzled at a 2 bulb bathroom (typical kind), one
was slightly
dimmer than other and flickering like mad. (my eye can see 30hz
driving me nuts) So I tool bulb out to check. aha the stick on
diode disc. Yanked it. SOLVED.
Um, you have the frequencies halved. Normal incandescent light flicker
is 120Hz; with a diode, 60Hz. (100 and 50 for 50Hz power, of course.)
