When I bought a pack of cheap LED bulbs, the harsh flicker really surprised me. I thought cheap would mean that the diodes would be uneven in brightness and have a very narrow spectrum. I was OK with that. It had not crossed my mind that they'd decide to slice a nickel off the cost of each bulb by leaving out capacitors. Whoever designed those bulbs needs to spend a week living under their horrible 60Hz flicker as punishment.
