Glare from LED Dusk to Dawn lightbulb

The problem with the anti-flicker option is it also then eliminates some parameters that you can set as it forces the camera to not allow the user to change a parameter that can bring the flicker back.

Anti-flicker does not allow a shutter speed faster than 1/100, nor does it allow the user to give the shutter speed a range, and does not allow a user to turn on WDR. It may take away others as well, but I know those two for sure.

The problem can be solved with a shutter speed adjustment, which is what I recommend so that a user maintains full ability to adjust camera parameters.

You want to stay off shutters that are whole number divisible by 50 or 60 (depending if you are in a 50 or 60hz area). So you try and odd shutter speed like 1/87 (11.49ms) or 1/66 (15.15ms), etc.

My floodlights are LED. I get a bit of that flicker/rolling wave running a faster shutter. I live with it. I am not making Hollywood movies - I want a clean capture of the perp. The rolling wave or LED flicker isn't going to impact my ability to get a clean capture of a perp, but running a slower shutter so that I don't see that rolling/flicker phenomenon will. I would rather have the faster shutter and a little LED flicker/wave.

I'd be very surprised if it was the clear glass and not the lumens to blame. The purpose of the coating is to produce a more diffused light. A clear glass just provides a more intense point of light.

Yep you were right... it is actually much worse. I'll keep using the low wattage ones, thanks!

Try anti-flicker & see how it looks with and without for the overall quality and with movement at night. I'd say 10ms is a little slow, but not totally dreadful for a shutter speed. I use 4ms but then again I'm using 4kt's which are particularly light sensitive. AF might be your answer. Otherwise, you could just live with the rolling shutter you see in the light. I get it in my picture when my next door neighbours fluorecent garage lights are switched on and shine over onto my driveway. I live with it as the overall picture is good and I have other lights that come on when someone intrudes anyway which solve the issue.

I can use 4ms for places where there is no light but I have to set the gain to 70 from 50

For the current setup 9/10 works decent... 8.5 I'll start getting the flickers on the ground but not too bad

Yeah exactly, it was making 1/100 being the fastest... I set it back to Outdoor and using 9-10 range.
