Really? I know that's why floors were banned in lathe workshops but I am surprised LEDs also strobe.
Especially the cheaper ones, even if they have switch mode power supplies. Using a smaller than ideal mains smoothing capacitor was apparently deemed a good way to reduce budget (not only the cap itself, but also through reduced power dissipation everywhere else).
