Abstract :
In the last years, modern lighting technologies are being adopted worldwide. However, in terms of flicker, the incandescent lamp was the one used as the reference lamp in the design of the standards. Due to their different working principles, the new lamps may have quite a different response to input voltage variations than the response of the incandescent lamp. This paper describes the results of the study of the sensitivity of some modern lamps by means of objective tests.
