My experience is that LED or fluoro spots are more of a problem in this regard than extended light sources like tubes, even less with multiple tubes.
Directly above my WW lathe I have a pair of conventional fluoro tubes and can only see a faint strobe effect when this is my only illumination.
The reason for minimal strobing is probably because extended light sources like tubes also illuminate more of the work indirectly than spots.
When I illuminate WW lathe work using the two nearest pairs of general lighting LED tubes that are about equidistant from the lathe I cannot see any strobing and the same if I then turn on the pair of conventional fluoro tubes above the lathe.
I have similar setup above my MW lathe. I also have 2 incandescent spots above this lathe that I rarely use.
