Quote:Âyea, i have a merc that has rear lamp modulation although I can't see it
I saw something like that earlier this year too, in the rain on the motorway, the guy coming along on the other side had his DRL's flashing at that slow rate which definitely cut through the spray, but like you, i found it too distracting. I think they're using headlight modulators to do it, which are common in the US, used to flash the main headlight at about the same rate. They're said to reduce the number of accidents........hmmmm.....

What I'm working on is something which if you look directly at it you wouldn't hardly notice any flicker, but in your peripheral vision you notice it a little bit more.
Â
A frequency of 16Hz - 17Hz is the most attention grabbing but not the most distracting, oddly enough, it's similar to when an old bike or car is running from a weak generator and the lights flicker in time with the engine strokes. Used to see it a lot years ago...gone are the days !

you see a lot of car lights flickering these days (only just), if you scan your eyes left to right quickly while looking at the back of a BMW or Audi (there are others) you can see that the rear lights are flashing. Same thing with traffic lights, LED low power ones flicker but you can only pick it up when your eyes scan side to side, through the use of LED multiplexing.
