By "100% clean" do you mean no flicker, ie. they use the more expensive components? I invested in Philips LED bulbs about a year ago and honestly I can't fault them at all. I consider myself to be sensitive to things like flickering. It doesn't usually give me a headache, but it will make me notice it to the point of distracting me. I was so happy to find that the Philips LEDs were almost just like old-fashioned bulbs (instant on, no flicker, warmer colour), but with virtually no heat output and vastly reduced power consumption.

Yes 100% free of flicker. I actually measured modulation technically speaking so even brightness modulation of a small amount would have been picked up.

Same experience with the Philips bulbs here.

This has also been my experience with Phillips bulbs.
