  • Ah. That’s a driver issue again. The dimmer is adjusting the voltage, and it the voltage dips too low, the LED chips don’t have enough juice to run. Hence the flickering. If there is a driver attached to your LEDs, you might want to consider a 0-10V driver or one that specifically says flicker free.

    EldoLED drivers are excellent for this but costly because they’re commercial grade.


  • That just means the driver is not flicker free, not the LED board itself, and there are flicker free drivers out there but they’re just not available for the average consumer.

    But visible flicker? On an LED that’s just emitting light? I’ve never seen that before. Maybe it’s a UK and Europe thing.



  • Wait, I’m a specialist lighting designer and i haven’t heard about this < 100hz LED is bad stuff. From my experience, frequencies at around 50hz or lower is what usually causes eye strain/headaches etc.LEDs are typically 60hz.

    I’m guessing the >100hz crowd just need to go outside and touch grass for a few hours a day.










  • How is any of what I said filial piety though? I get that unquestioned authority can lead to abuse, having experienced it myself and I don’t practice it at all, but the naming conventions for the Vietnamese and Japanese languages don’t relate to that.

    If anything, it’s a form of social structure - if you’re an acquaintance, you’re referred to in a certain way that is widely considered polite and friendly, if you’re being aggressive to someone you are referred to in another way.

    I don’t know. I just like things orderly and easy to understand. Taking all of the above away just makes social interactions much more tedious.

    Edit: just reading back on the chain of communication, I’d like to clarify that I agree with the age based discrimination should be changed but wholeheartedly disagree with removing the polite honorifics. Nothing wrong with being nice, unless the person deserves otherwise.


  • I don’t see it that way at all though i guess it comes from my Vietnamese background where everyone gets an honorific, especially family. It makes it easier to know exactly who you’re talking about if they have the same name.

    Also, in Japanese, -chan and use of first name instead of last name gives very clear information that you’ve gone from acquaintance to friend.

    Personally, i like 'em. Feels different being called Mrs.
