Design On Camera Flicker Free LED Tape

[bsullivan]

I am looking for solutions for LED tape that doesn't flicker when shot on camera. What specification am I looking for and does anyone have a manufacturer recommendation?

It isn't the tape that flickers, it's the driver.

And it's possible that you have a shutter speed conflict.

Yes I am looking for a driver with a high PWM, the trouble is I don't see that spec listed on any of the drivers I have looked up.

City Theatrical has LED tape line now. I'm sure it's Camera Friendly, or at least I'm sure the list the frequency/hertz of powersupplies for them.

All of our dimmers have adjustable PWM which we believe is more important than just having a very fast speed, especially if you are looking to do any dimming on camera.

If you are looking for a higher capacity hardwired dimmer this is our most popular. https://www.citytheatrical.com/products/electronic/qolorflex-dimmers/qolorflex-5x8a-dimmer. PWM range is 500Hz to 30KHz.

If you have specifics on the tape, quantity, and control zones you are looking for I can get a bit more specific on dimmer quantities and power supply sizes that would be necessary. We also have wireless dimmers if wireless control is necessary.
