Flicker is more a failing LED bulb .
I’ve experimented with all the energy saving types. Some CFL failed in weeks,some brands still bright and steady after 5 or more years. Just replaced the last CFL in use with LED.
Really annoying is I pay $32 “access” monthly before using the first kwh.Seriously considering alternatives.
I had a CFL explode right over my clean laundry.
Like an idiot I rewashed and dried the clothes, unwittingly spreading the bulb powder everywhere.
I got mild mercury poisoning from that.
I stopped using them immediately.
:(
I do the same, it works out to about 130 a month for power surcharge, water surcharge, and sewer surcharge. If I go on vacation, turn off the power and water, my bill is just a little less than $130 per month.
