Hi BRS,
I've been shopping around for new LED fixtures and the YouTube videos on the performance of individual fixtures put out by the BRS team has been invaluable. However, I have a sensitivity to LED flickering and it has been difficult in obtaining flicker values for aquarium LED fixtures.
In addition to measuring a light's performance regarding health and coloration of corals and fish, I believe that LED flicker should also be measured in order to for the health of the viewers and owners of the fixtures.
Is this something that could be incorporated in testing lights in the future? Instruments already exist for this purpose (ex: UPRtek MF250N) but it's beyond the reach hobbyists' budget.
Thanks,
G
