Influence of AC power supply on light flicker measurements
Accurate measurement of the short term flicker indicator is important for avoiding visible flicker and for SSL products compliance with regulations. The IC2023 Interlaboratory Comparison of temporal light modulation measurements revealed large variations depending on the laboratory-grade AC power supplies used.
Solid-State Lighting: Health Effects and Knowledge Gaps
The health effects of LED lamps and luminaires used for general lighting were reviewed by an international team of researchers working under the 4E SSLC Platform.
IC 2023 Nucleus Laboratory Comparison Report Part 1: Lamp Artefacts
This report presents a comparison and demonstration of measurement equivalency of the five Nucleus laboratories that constitute the core of Interlaboratory Comparison 2023 (IC2023). This report is Part 1, covering LED lamp artefacts used in IC 2023.
AC power supply issue for intrinsic flicker performance measurement
These comments were prepared and submitted to Members of three Expert Working Groups investigating temporal light modulation: CIE TC 2-89, IEC TC34 WG5 and IES LM-90 WG.
