Very interesting! My pet peeve is glare and LEDS produce an ungodly amount of glare and I absolutely hated them in car headlights. I've never heard of anyone irritated by hz that high before. The more you know. Thanks for clarifying.

Glare? That's not a physical property of LED light but an effect of overly bright headlights enabled by LED and laser technology.

Except my eyes do a kind of color aberration where I see different wavelengths in slightly different spots when squinting, and the peak of blue that most white LEDs' spectra have makes for a clearly visible fringe. I wouldn't really call that "glare" though.
