Excellent white colour spectrum a any voltage.

Very poor spectrum (colour rendering index) compared to incandescent light, the best LEDs I've seen are no better than fluorescent lighting, which has a fairly poor CRI.

Pray why should my LED torches flicker?

Because the electronics in them supplies a pulsed current
