| lamp type | flicker function |
flicker factor |
|---|---|---|
| HMI magnetic ballast: | sine wave | 40 - 70 % |
| Street lights magn. ballast: | sine wave | 50 - 70 % |
| Fluorescent magn. ballast: | sine wave | 30 - 60 % |
| Fluorescent elecr. ballast: | sine wave | 0 - 12 % |
| Household bulbs: | sine wave | 10 - 15 % |
| Tungsten lights | sine wave | 0 - 10 % |
| HMI electronic ballast: | sine wave | 1 - 3 % |
| Sunlight: | 0 % | |
| LED 100%, on transformers: | sine wave | 40 - 99 % |
| LED 100%, low cost supply: | sine wave | 0 - 15 % |
