So is this something I should put on my worry list?
Multiple sources would all flicker in tandem, since it’s the source of electricity and how it’s supplied that causes the flickering, and not the lightbulb itself. So it wouldn’t be like.. a crazy mish mash of different strobe light flashes, but I suppose a more pronounced single oneWe make sure our guys' pellets have D3 and we use 2 kinds of bulbs, a regular and a full-spectrum just because one is too glaring and the other seems yellow by comparison. We also open the blinds during the day to let some natural light in, so now I'm hoping that makes the flickering less noticeable. Also, would the multiple sources flicker at the same time?
I wonder if there's any kind of converter that the lamps could be plugged into to make the current direct instead of alternating. And if so, could you still use the same lamps?

My initial feeling is that there isn’t a converter unless it lets the current build up or charge or something.. a DC would need to be a change at the source. But if there was one, you could use the same lamp. Will do some research and see what I can find...
You are totally right!!
My understanding is that fluorescents flicker slower (120 times per second) than an LED bulb (which I have seen listed as "low" as 400 times per second)
Which lamp will be optimum to eye? Incandescent, fluorescent or LED etc
