I would certainly agree that finding LED bulbs that you like and/or don't bother you can take some work (especially if you want to put them on a dimmer, in which case you may also need to replace your dimmer). However, I am skeptical that subtle PWM flickering is unavoidable. For the chateau example, it would be better to choose bulbs with fewer lumens and run them at 100%?


I wonder about this too. If I have a dimmer and a LED bulb, does putting the dimmer all the way up still use PWM? I have a hunch that it still does, but would love to be proven wrong.
