What’s New Version 1.2.1
FlickerSpec is now free to download.
• Refreshed icon and in-app palette designed to be comfortable for flicker-sensitive users (migraine, photophobia, light sensitivity).
• Softened all verdict and warning colors to a low-saturation amber/sage/brick palette — easier on the eyes during long audits.
• Pro tier dropped from $149.99 to $49.99 one-time.
Quick Measurement (live IEEE 1789 check) and IEC Certified Measurement (3-minute PstLM tripod capture) continue unchanged.
Description
Your new LEDs shouldn't be giving you headaches. If they are, the lights are almost certainly flickering — faster than your eyes can consciously detect, but fast enough to trigger migraines, eye strain, and fatigue. FlickerSpec turns your iPhone into a flicker meter, using the 240fps camera to measure exactly what your eyes can't.
For compliance documentation — clinical engineering, facility management, EU Ecodesign certification — FlickerSpec generates PDF reports with IEEE 1789 and IEC PstLM verdicts that satisfy accreditation surveyors and lighting auditors.
WHAT YOU MEASURE
Quick Measurement (Free)
Live 240fps capture with real-time results:
• Dominant flicker frequency in Hz
• Percent Flicker and Flicker Index per IEEE 1789-2015
• Signal-to-noise ratio and confidence rating
• IEEE 1789-2015 Pass/Fail verdict
• Live luminance waveform and FFT spectrum
IEC Certified Measurement (Pro)
3-minute tripod capture for compliance documentation:
• Short-Term Flicker Severity (PstLM) per IEC TR 61547-1:2015
• EU Ecodesign 2019/2020 PASS/FAIL (threshold: PstLM ≤ 1.0)
• 8× oversampled LM flickermeter validated against all 5 IEC Table A.1 test vectors
• Suitable for clinical engineering and lighting audit documentation
Measurement Logging & PDF Reports (Pro)
Every audit, documented:
• Save measurements with GPS location, fixture photo, and notes
• Single-measurement and session-summary PDF reports
• PstLM + EU Ecodesign section included when applicable
• Calibration certificate reference on every report
• CSV export for spreadsheet workflows
Calibration System (Free)
Verify accuracy before any audit:
• Built-in calibration web app generates a known-frequency reference signal
• Point your iPhone at any screen showing the calibration page
• Timestamped calibration certificate attached to all subsequent reports
MEASUREMENT BANDWIDTH
240fps camera capture (Nyquist: 120 Hz) measures mains-driven LED flicker reliably:
• 60 Hz flicker (half-wave LED drivers, US) — full accuracy
• 120 Hz flicker (full-wave rectified, US) — frequency reliable; use the 3-min IEC flow for stable depth measurements
• Above 120 Hz PWM and kHz drivers — outside camera bandwidth
NO SUBSCRIPTIONS
$49.99 one-time purchase unlocks everything: IEEE 1789 verdicts, IEC Certified Measurement, unlimited logging, PDF reports, CSV export, calibration certificates, report header customization with your company name and logo.
Free tier: full live measurement display, frequency and metrics readout, up to 5 measurements per day — enough to check any room.

• Softened all verdict and warning colors to a low-saturation amber/sage/brick palette — easier on the eyes during long audits.
• Pro tier dropped from $149.99 to $49.99 one-time.
Quick Measurement (live IEEE 1789 check) and IEC Certified Measurement (3-minute PstLM tripod capture) continue unchanged.
Build 884870028v1.2.02026-04-24 19:38:06
IEC Certified Measurement (Pro):
FlickerSpec now produces a Short-Term Flicker Severity (PstLM) value per IEC TR 61547-1:2015 — the metric cited by EU Ecodesign 2019/2020, ANSI C82.77-6-2023, and WELL Building Standard V2. Mount your iPhone on a tripod, aim at the fixture, run a 3-minute capture, and FlickerSpec returns a PstLM value with a clear PASS/FAIL against the PstLM ≤ 1.0 threshold.
The PstLM result appears on the Log Measurement screen and in the single-measurement PDF report, alongside the existing IEEE 1789-2015 verdict. Quick Measurement (the live handheld IEEE 1789 flow) continues unchanged.
Under the hood: 8× oversampled flickermeter at 1920 Hz, full 6-biquad LM weighting filter cascade, 60-second settling discard, IEC-smoothed percentile bank, validated against all 5 IEC TR 61547-1 Annex A Table A.1 test vectors within ±5%.
Build 884465356v1.1.02026-04-13 23:00:01
- Free tier now includes 5 measurements per day with daily reset
- All raw metrics (Percent Flicker, Flicker Index, frequency, SNR) visible on every measurement
- IEEE 1789-2015 compliance verdict now a Pro feature
- Updated user manual with Settings and Pro upgrade screenshots
- Improved error handling for GPS, camera, and storage failures
