| Led use is missing the appropriate level of rigger for correct human factors! the operating frequencies of pwm (pulse width modulation) led's (light emitting diode) is to low for some viewers! this is a very real condition known as flicker fusion or critical fusion frequency and does not have the same effect on all viewers. the lamps look as if they are all over the roadway and completely out of control! it is just about impossible to drive at night due to this!!!! all manufactures using led's or other fast response lamps need to consider human factors, the operating frequency is critical and needs to be over 3000 hertz (cycles per second). this lack of control has put probable 10% of the drivers and pilots are at risk! a recall is needed to fix this travesty that is out of control. it started with cadillac's srx around 2000, now in 2010+ ford, 2010+ mercedes and volkswagen have gone overboard and just about all the vehicles they build are operating at this dangerous and very deadly operating frequency. the operating frequency needs to be >2500 hertz! the use of pwm is not the problem it's the operating frequency! all manufactures that use pwm need to consider human factors! | |||

| The operating frequencies of pwm (pulse width modulation) led's (light emitting diode) is to low for some viewers! this is a very real condition known as flicker fusion or critical fusion frequency and does not have the same effect on all viewers. a recall is needed to fix this travesty that has gotten out of control. it started with cadillac's srx around 2000, now in 2010 ford and volkswagen have gone overboard and just about all the vehicles they build are operating at this dangerous and deadly frequency. the operating frequency needs to be >2500 hertz, i did test this! police cars built by ford are putting them at harms way. the busses ford and gm built are in the same issues. | |||
