The fact that we generally use AC current to operate ordinary light bulbs. In the US, we use 60Hz current so the "flicker" is not quite as noticeable as is the 50Hz used in Europe. If we used direct current (as in a DC powered battery operated) flash light, there would be no flicker.

The answer to this question actually depends on the case to which you are referring. For instance, lights can flicker during storms due to obstructions hitting power lines or even when your heating and cooling system kicks on.

They all flicker 60 times per second. But you should not be able to see it.
