Cheap.  So probably has brushes.

Cheap enough to not be brushless? Those brushes can really mess with a clean 
sine wave.

  Cheap.
  But it is a rotating generator, I would think windings rotating in a magnetic 
field would make a clean sine wave.
  Going to have to put a scope on it.

  What kind of generator? Cheap one?  
  That seems like probably voltage fluctuation causing that. 
  If I were going to use a small generator I'd go for a honda 2000 or 3000 
inverter generator, or one of the competing models. Very quiet, last forever.

    That sounds like the generator must have particularly ratty output? The 
constant current regulators on the input to the LEDs are supposed to filter 
that out. Maybe put an AC filter on the input to the light fixtures?

      Brand new splicing trailer.  Just finishing it up.
      Put in florescent looking fixtures that are actually LED.
      They flicker with the generator power.  

      I am going to try to put caps on the output of the LED ballasts...
      But what is the best way to stabilize the output of the generator?

      I am going to put a scope on the output and see what it looks like.  
      I turned on the air conditioner and the flickering reduced, so it is low 
load causing it.

      But this is after an electronic LED driver which should regulate out the 
AC line issues I would thing.

      Odd...
