Iphone2 can detect flicker
IEEE did a lot of research and found flicker ，

Summary of Biological Effects
The obvious biological effects occur: 1) immediately from 2) flicker that is visible. The risks include seizures, and less specific neurological symptoms including malaise and headache. Seizures can be triggered by flicker in individuals with no previous history or diagnosis of epilepsy.
The less obvious biological effects occur: 1) from flicker that is invisible 2) after exposure of several minutes. Invisible flicker health effects have been reported to include headaches and eye-strain.
The table in the Appendix summarizes and categorizes the types of flicker and the biological effects they cause.

Many lamps on the market has flicker problem, most of them can be detected by iphone2, all of them can be detected by oscilloscope.

| all lamps side effect | incandescent | Fluorescent | Market LED | Upright Lighting LED | impact on vision and health |
| low frequency visible flicker | Yes | Yes without PFC | some have | No | Cause myopia; headaches, migraines, fatigue, epilepsy, and other neurological responses; Degrade reading performance;provide a distraction or annoyance for sensitive individuals. |
| infrared | Yes | No | Some have | No | ocular lens damage, continuous wave retinal damage; lens protein denaturation and cataracts This is photothermal damage. |
| peak strong light | Yes | Yes | Some have | No | keratitis (corneal epidermal necrosis, loss), eye pain, photophobia and tearing. Injury to corneal, lens, retina; Vitreous injury;dry eye; photoreceptor cell damage; age-related macular degeneration; macular retinal choroidal damage. |
| ultraviolet | No | Yes | Some have | No | cataract,premature presbyopia,Pterygion; Retinal degeneration, retinal damage,photochemical lesions in the neural retina and retinal pigment epithelium; macular disease, blurred vision and image distortion symptoms. Chronic blepharitis, conjunctivitis, conjunctival elasticity and gloss loss, and pigment hyperplasia. UV-induced electric photophthalmia; customary system electric ophthalmia, the ultraviolet radiation keratoconjunctivitis. Skin aging black or skin cancer;This is photochemical damage. |
| unsafe electromagnetic raidiation | Yes | Yes | Some have | No | 1)cell carcinoma induction; 2)abnormal hormone; 3)intense calcium loss; 4) triggering dementia; 5)abnormal pregnancy and abnormal birth; 6)high blood pressure and heart disease; 7) electromagnetic hypersensitivity; 8) depression increase. |

| 9/17/14 | I found out about this but reading a study of lamps. At first ,this lamp seemed like it might not be enough light, but my eyes have seen the difference. They are not as tired after long stints reading. I don’t feel the strain and fatigue that I had under my old desk lamp with the harsh fluorescent. I was skeptical initially, but perhaps I didn’t need as much light as I thought. I’m keeping it.

| 8/26/14 | Excellent product from caring creators/sellers, who promptly answered questions about a research article they wrote. I felt as if they cared about my well-being. I have experienced improvements to my vision, less dizziness and migraines, and an ability to stay focused longer. I highly recommend this for anyone who has seizures, migraines, dizziness, fatigue, or just needs to stay focused.
