Thanks for the answer, so its basically damned if you do, damned if you dont.
Somedays I miss those old tungstens lights but then I remember the heat.

You need a continuous light source to achieve what you were trying to do. I've just tried with my EOS R in silent shutter (i.e., ES) mode, my hand moving across a ⅛s exposure lit by my domestic room light (a 13W 2700K Philips domestic LED bulb) and that didn't look too bad. That bulb takes ½s or so for its phosphors to stop glowing when it's switched off, which will even out its light output. There were continuous striations parallel to the direction of travel, but these also appeared with EFCS and when using both curtains, and I got similar striations using a halogen bulb torch for lighting, so I don't think they're from the LED bulb.
