No answer, but I have noticed a simiar effect in my bathroom...

Again all Halogen lights... and all on an LD11...

the flicker is just barely perceptable, at first I thought I was blinking...

It only lasts for a fraction of a second, and it only happens
intermittently, seeminlg following no discernable pattern.

ho-hum..
