Default 8V 40mA bi-pin lamp (Marantz)

That aspect can be mitigated by
having a conventional diode in inverse parallel, but this will result in
a
flicker at half the supply frequency that Phil can't see, but some of us
can, or by putting another LED in inverse parallel, which will conduct on
the opposite half cycle producing light, and clamping the reverse voltage
across the first diode to the value of the forward voltage of the second
diode, different, of course for different colours.


Surely, it will be at the _SAME_ frequency but exist as a light
source for only half the period (duty cycle). N'est-ce pas?


Each LED will flicker at half the supply frequency,

Half wave rectification = 50 /60 Hz ripple.

Full wave = 100 /120 Hz ripple.

Dead horses are lining up in drives right now ...
