It can be. Cheap LED lights with low quality AC rectifiers are awful. If those are your point of comparison then yes, incandescent light is better (more steady).

Of course that difference goes away if you just get a better LED light.

Some also have terrible CRI. Nothing like giving everything a subtle green or purple tint.

yeah, i was referring to current tech. First LED or those mercury vapor bulbs were basically useless.

You can definitely get "current" LED bulbs with bad hardware inside still today. See: Everything made by NOMA.
