  2. Fluorescent lamps and health - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescent_lamps_and_health

    Fluorescent lamps with magnetic ballasts flicker at a normally unnoticeable frequency of 100 or 120 Hz (twice of the utility frequency; the lamp is lit on both the positive and negative half-wave of a cycle). This flickering can cause problems for some individuals with light sensitivity [1] and are

  3. List of LED failure modes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LED_failure_modes

    Differentiated phosphor degeneration: The different phosphors used in white LEDs tend to degrade with heat and age, but at different rates causing changes in the produced light color, for example, purple and pink LEDs often use an organic phosphor formulation which may degrade after just a few hours of operation causing a major shift in output ...

  4. Flicker (light) - Wikipedia

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

    The short-term flicker indicator P st LM is implemented in a light flickermeter which processes the light measured by means of a light sensor. The light flickermeter [ 14 ] [ 15 ] consists of four processing blocks which include weighting filters to account for frequency dependency of the visibility of TLMs as well as statistical processing to ...

  5. Twilight switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_switch

    A twilight switch is an electronic component that allows the automatic activation of a lighting circuit when natural light drops in a given environment. Among a large number of uses, the most common is to enable automatic lighting of streets, roads, highways, roads, gardens, courtyards, etc., when sunlight drops below a certain level (e.g.: a ...

  6. Digital Addressable Lighting Interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Addressable...

    Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) is a trademark for network-based products that control lighting. The underlying technology was established by a consortium of lighting equipment manufacturers as a successor for 1-10 V/ 0–10 V lighting control systems, and as an open standard alternative to several proprietary protocols.

  7. Troubleshooting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting is a form of problem solving, often applied to repair failed products or processes on a machine or a system. It is a logical, systematic search for the source of a problem in order to solve it, and make the product or process operational again. Troubleshooting is needed to identify the symptoms.

  8. Tell-tale (automotive) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tell-tale_(automotive)

    A group of tell-tales showing lights for "brake fluid", "stop lamp" and "check engine" Graphical tell-tales. A tell-tale, sometimes called an idiot light [1] or warning light, is an indicator of malfunction or operation of a system, indicated by a binary (on/off) illuminated light, symbol or text legend.

  9. Position sensitive device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position_sensitive_device

    The technical term PSD was first used in a 1957 publication by J.T. Wallmark for lateral photoelectric effect used for local measurements. On a laminar semiconductor, a so-called PIN diode is exposed to a tiny spot of light. This exposure causes a change in local resistance and thus electron flow in four electrodes.
