Abstract
Flicker and stroboscopic effects caused by a temporally modulated light source may be harmful for the human visual system. Standardized measurement methods have been developed for the related temporal light artefacts of LED luminaires. It was found out that the performance of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) recommended flickermeter implementation is highly dependent on sampling frequency. Novel digital implementations for the flickermeter and stroboscopic effect visibility measure (SVM) were created to remove any inaccuracies. The performance of the novel Aalto implementations does not depend on the sampling frequency when running the test waveforms of the IEC standard through the implementations. As compared with the IEC recommended digital implementations, Aalto flickermeter decreases the average error related to the test waveforms from −0.05 to +0.003, and Aalto SVM meter also decreases the average error by almost two orders of magnitude.Description
