I'll take your word for it - the finer points of electricity are not a
strong suit of mine.  I can't *see* the flicker the incandescant bulbs,
so in my mind they don't flicker.  However, now that I think about it,
they *must* - since 60hz is the rating of most (all?) electrical
circuits in the US.  Right?
