I much prefer a fluorescent or LED inspection lamp. Much cooler and

May strobe too.

Doesn't apply to CFLs. Or any modern fluorescent inspection lamp I've
seen. I suppose a cheap mains LED could flicker - but who would use a
mains LED for an inspection light?

Unless they have changed the laws of physics CFLs and fluorescent lamps
flicker.
They may flicker at a higher frequency than 50 Hz but they flicker.
