If someone comes up with a better idea, to measure more accurately amplitude and ideal the spectrum (would need a dedicated color sensor though), with an easy to use interface, that would be awesome. I now always have this small 3.5mm 4 ring photo-transistor adapter in my pocket when shopping light bulb/appliances in home improvement, so I can point it and discard the worst devices. Led lights flickering It is the most difficult to troubleshoot an LED light if the flickering occurs only on rare occasions. The result is then very straightforward, especially in spectrum analyzer: Standard office ceilling panels with AC/DC block converter under the drop down ceiling Ultra cheap LED light bulb COG (chip on glass) with bridge rectifier (4 diodes) 100€/$ photo studio panel with external AC/DC power supply or battery operated If a dimmable LED light source continues to flicker after being dimmed, the old dimmer is ineffective and must be changed with an LED dimmer, as described above.

Even if an LED light is advertised as dimmable the method of dimming usually.

Then use a simple Android software, called Oscilloscope Dimming tends to create dramatic issues with LEDs and most forms of lighting. So I used one of the simplest and cheaper photo sensor on the market: a NPN phototransistor, (not a photoresistance as the bandwith is to small), in addition with a 10k resistor, connected to the GND (ring 2) and MIC (sleeve). I wanted to “quantify” it, more that just a feeling, but didn’t want to drop hard cash (k€$ range) for dedicated equipment. Or AC/DC converter with inductor and constant current control (this is what you want). You can find two type of power supply on LED bulbs: simple rectification with LED string to match the AC rectified voltage. Most people cannot notice the flicker in fluorescent lights that have a flicker rate of 120 cycles per second (or 120 Hz). Because good rectification and filtering cost, manufacturer are cutting them, and you get this effect. Most of LED light bulb are supplied from main, the quality of the AC/DC converter takes a main role here. But not the LED (even though there is some phosphor in them), this leads to have a close relation of the light intensity and the supply voltage. This effect is especially present in LED light fixtures where there is no inertia: incandescent or fluorescent light have a thermal or phosphor inertia and continue to glow a flick of second after the power is cut. If you have carried out the above tests and your LED lamps are still flickering or not powering on, replacing your T8 LED lamps may be a more worthwhile, efficient option.

We all experienced it: light flicker! When concentrating on a piece of work or dead tree text, the light suddenly goes berserk and flash like a stroboscope on the dance-floor.Īfter fixing a TV with LED backlight, let’s dive in different performance of light fixture/light bulbs. Step 4 Replace the T8 LED Tubes or Purchase an LED Fixture.
