    LED Luminaires - flicker/strobing

    I'm looking to fit out lighting in a new workshop that contains a number of machine tools. I want to use 600x600 LED panels surface mounted on the ceiling to get a nice flat fill without shadows. But I am concious that some LED panels strobe at 100Hz (presumably because the PSU manufacturer...

    where does one stand?
