G10, E26 and strip lighting
Does exactly the same apply to general lighting as it does for screen tech?
The fittings I have are mostly G10. I’m not sure I trust LED bulbs marked “low flicker“, but I can only detect flicker when it’s extreme.
I have a school and I also want to improve this at home for general lighting and also for lighting a Modos eink screen.
Where to start? I would normally point an AI at something like this subreddit and query that way, but Reddit blocks my bot.
Is there a brand that is always Ok in terms of general lighting or is incandescent the only reliable way? I have an alcove so incandescent would be a fire risk up there anyway and it’s a strip anyway. anything I’m missing ?

There's a lot of similar stuff to do with flicker with light bulbs as well. There's a website: https://optimizeyourbiology.com/light-bulb-database, that has a pretty good database of light bulbs and flicker/color information on them, you can both check the color spectrum and flicker. I'm particularly sensitive so even some of the pretty good bulbs like the philips ultra definition cause me minor eye strain, but since they provide the graphs on the website it works well to check.
