Proposing Measures of Flicker in the Low Frequencies for Lighting Applications

Abstract

The IEEE Standards Working Group, IEEE P1789 "Recommending practices for modulating current in High Brightness LEDs for mitigating health risks to viewers" has been formed to advise the lighting industry, ANSI/NEMA, IEC, EnergyStar and other standards groups about the emerging concern of flicker in LED lighting. This paper intends to introduce new measures and definitions of lamp flicker in lighting. The discussion represents on-going work in IEEE P1789 that is vital to designing safe LED lamp drivers.
