Abstract

This paper discusses measurements taken on fluorescent lights in the frequency range between 2 and 150 kHz. The presentation of the measurement results form an important part of the paper. The measurement results are presented in time-domain, in the frequency domain and in the time-frequency domain (by means of a "spectrogram"). The latter allows the study of sub-cycle changes in the current spectrum. The current taken by one lamp is compared with the current taken by two, three and four lamps. The relative high-frequency distortion reduced for frequencies above 15 kHz
