Don't LEDs still flicker with the cycle too?

No. They run on DC only. Incoming AC voltage must be converted to low voltage DC before the LED illuminates. No flicker there.

Unless they have a good rectifier, with capacitive storage, it’ll be a pulsing DC. Maybe these have it. I don’t know. ...or maybe 120 pulses per second is too fast to bothr the eyes.
