Hi!
I caught this flickering headlights on video the other day.
Unfortunately I don't know what type of car this is - but I was wondering ...
Is this intentional or some malfunction? :2cents:

Did you actually see it flickering? Or just video. Sometimes leds do that when recorded. I'm not smart enough to explain why but it does happen.

Ah you mean like a refresh rate on screen!
Didn't think of that.
Maybe can be checked what type of light is in this car and then it can be found out whether this can happen on screen or only in reality!
I don't remember whether I saw it on screen or live while recording!
Thanks for that reply for sure!

That's a frame rate thing. All LED's do similar stuff in video.

Ah so the extended shape of that flickering light is cause of the mirrors inside,
the middle LEDs is not recorded flickering but through the mirrors it gets dimmer and then it creates this shape.
OK good to know! Didn't think of that!
Thank you!
