As much as I like EU, the new bulbs are flickery shit.

I bought a stockpile of 150W incandescent bulbs marked as 'shock resistant' (they are definitely not) and they give decent light. The 100W LEDs give more like 50W and flicker too..

>'shock resistant' (they are definitely not)

It's not allowed to sell incandescent for home use in EU, so they are usually marked as some "industrial shock-resistant" bullshit.

When the transition started the first LED bulbs were awful. They have come a long way since then.
