Worse. I have weird interactions between dimmers, banks of LEDS and
incandescents..where dimming one bank starts another bank flickering.
I conclude there is some sort of HF hash being put out...

Oh! Well, if it can happen to YOU it can happen to the best of us, I
guess. I suppose it's time to bite the bullet and dump ALL the
remaining tubes and embrace greener tech for once! The old fluos
turned out to be 2400mm long - much longer than the 6' they'd appeared
from floor level. Perhaps maintaining a discharge over that distance
is a more precarious undertaking than with the more common, shorter
tube lengths usually encountered.:-/

LED tubes are not quite as efficient as a good fluoro (sp!) but they
don't flicker as badly and the light quality is softer and more even
across the spectrum And they don't contain mercu

Er.... LEDs less efficient than fluoro?? Are we being lied to by TPTB
about that as well?

The really big industrial tubes ere I think around 15%, the compacts
much less - 7% -compared with LEDS at 10% IIRC.and incandescent at 1%.


But I haven't looked recently, LEDS may be getting a bit better

as I recall there wasn't much in it between LED and fluoro and LED light
is simply nicer, and the tubes are like for like replaceable...And dont
contain mercury or sharp glass...
