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.

I think it's a deliberate choice to make it like that. If they ran it at a
higher frequency, you wouldn't notice that the car has "New LED Taillights"
and the marketing value would be lost.
