All LED car tail-lights flicker out of the corner of your eye, and half

21st century we get such ****ty lights (and on decent cars).

Are you sure it's not just you.

It is, I don't get that effect at all.

Then your eyes or brain are too slow. Remember the 60Hz CRT monitors, could you see those flicker?

It could also be in your imagination., or teh flickering of yuor eyes.
Do you also see yoursefl blink.
Do you really see that your vision gets shutoff when you blink.
Is yuor brain too slow to see yuor own eyelids shut.
A blink of an eye is about 300ms 1/3 second so hwo the **** to yuo know whats going on when yuor eyes are closed for 1/3 second
Awnswer is you don;t your brain makes it up.

Of course now you'll claim your super human because you never see yuorself blink.

Go read up on it. People can detect flicker up to anywhere from 50 to 100Hz depending on their eyesight/brain speed. Pigeons are 120Hz, which is why you shouldn't use ballast fluorescents in their dovecots.
