One of the bulbs is not like the others - since the electrical grid supplies AC (in germany its 50hz, different for different countries) - a simple lamp attached to it will flicker really fast (not normally visible) - newer LED bulbs have simple circuit that prevnets this - one of my bulbs was an  older one though, makes for a fun look under 1/8 200fps slowmotion
