Some LED's will produce strobe effects, usually they are the ones that use a cap dropper with inadequate smoothing. The ones fed via a SMPS are OK but are bad for RFI. The best by far are the ones that still use a good old mains transformer type of supply.
My shed is fully lit by LED from 12v Leisure batteries, they are charged by solar and a charge controller, no flicker and no hash!
