If I had the time I'd build a strobe and check you out.
As I remember it is OFF 60 times a second. It is also ON 60 times a 
second. Thus the 120. I barely remember the explanation.

Are the fluorescents essentially a DC operation? (Responding to only one 
half of the wave?)
 If so, I am correct.
 If not, you are.
Never claimed to actually understand that stuff.

Either way it is far faster than we perceive.
