AVR-Chat

Again, I should mention, I've seen very simple systems that use two or
three levels of brightness and switch between those two or three states.
The effect seems very acceptable for most applications I would think.

Don't over complicate things.

Mainly, I think the color is important and that's why I like
incandescent lights since, by their very nature, generate light from a
hot wire which is close in color to a real flame.

You could even use some kind of smoked filter or slotted gobo that would
surround the bulb and turn on a small motor thus creating your effect.

Why make things harder than they need be?

Coding in a strange attractor might give more realistic flicker. 
I think that flame height and intensity is probably a strange attractor.
Similar to water dripping. It's not random, nor regular.
