Is there a way for me to know whether or not an LED bulb will have a proper driver that does not throw away half the current and produce a "strobe" before I buy it? The flickering (in the presence of moving things) drives me crazy.


As above, look for architectural bulbs that are deep dimming rated (< 10% dimming). They cost more. I personally have had good luck with Cree, but probably the other top shelf vendors have similarly good products.
