Re: Car LED tail lights strobe rate too slow

Anybody else notice that the strobe rate bothers them on the newer cars

At night, when the tail lights are dimmed, (brakes not on) and you
look at them and blink or turn your head, the after image is very
strange, you see dashes of light. I find it very annoying and
distracting and I hope that this problem is recognized and corrected
before every car on the road is like this.

Can't say I've noticed any issue with it. I doubt the PWM rate would be
low enough to be visible, surely?
BTW, I like the new LED traffic lights that are popping up all over
Sydney - real funky!
Anyone else find themselves distracted because you sit there counting
the LEDs, or thinking "I wonder how much current they are running"? :->
Actually, the large number of point light sources in the traffic lights
is a bit distracting at first glance, perhaps it is this you are
actually having a problem with in the tail lights? As you turn your
head it could appear to "flicker" perhaps?
