Your brain always tries to patch up what the eyes see.

This is the same thing going on for all optical illusions.

The eye might see them both on and off but the brain patches it off and transmits a smooth, always on image.

The camera usually records from top to bottom so in the little time it takes to make a frame, some lights are on and others of and buy the time an other frame is taken, and other part of the led is on but the same part is off by the time the frame is fully recorded.

Thi give the flickering or snake type of Lighting.
