  2. Fluorescent lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescent_lamp

    Flicker at power frequency is more noticeable in the peripheral vision than it is when viewed directly. Near the end of life, fluorescent lamps can start flickering at a frequency lower than the power frequency. This is due to instability in the negative resistance of arc discharge, [74] which can be from a bad lamp or ballast or poor connection.

  3. Flicker (light) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flicker_(light)

    In visual perception, flicker is a human-visible change in luminance of an illuminated surface or light source which can be due to fluctuations of the light source itself, or due to external causes such as due to rapid fluctuations in the voltage of the power supply (power-line flicker) or incompatibility with an external dimmer.

  4. Power-line flicker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-line_flicker

    The requirements of a flicker measurement equipment are defined in the international electro-technical standard IEC 61000-4-15. [2]A flickermeter is composed of several function blocks which simulate a 230 V/60 W or a 120 V/60 W incandescent lamp (reference lamp) and the human perception system (eye-brain model).

  5. Electrical ballast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_ballast

    The flicker index, used for measuring perceptible light modulation, has a range from 0.00 to 1.00, with 0 indicating the lowest possibility of flickering and 1 indicating the highest. Lamps operated on magnetic ballasts have a flicker index between 0.04 and 0.07 while digital ballasts have a flicker index of below 0.01.

  6. Compact fluorescent lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_fluorescent_lamp

    The principle of operation remains the same as in other fluorescent lighting: electrons that are bound to mercury atoms are excited to states where they will radiate ultraviolet light as they return to a lower energy level; this emitted ultraviolet light is converted into visible light as it strikes the fluorescent coating, and into heat when ...

    To power an HMI bulb, special ballasts act as an ignitor to start the arc, and then regulate it by acting as a choke. Two types of ballasts exist: magnetic and electronic (square-wave or flicker-free). Magnetic ballasts are generally much heavier and bulkier than electronic ballasts, as they consist primarily of a network of large inductors ...

  9. Neon lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon_lamp

    A General Electric NE-34 glow lamp, manufactured circa 1930. Neon was discovered in 1898 by William Ramsay and Morris Travers.The characteristic, brilliant red color that is emitted by gaseous neon when excited electrically was noted immediately; Travers later wrote, "the blaze of crimson light from the tube told its own story and was a sight to dwell upon and never forget."
