LED question

Default LED question

does anyone know if LED's produce "shimmer" like a point source light? or are they too diffused?

Yes they can do that. We have led moon lights and they make the shimmer effect.

I don't know if the t5s would flood out the shimmer effect or not, but I've seen leds shimmering away.
