The Flicker400 offers lamp and luminaire manufacturers deeper insight into the flicker characteristics essential in development of high-quality novel lighting, increasingly relevant for those featuring dimming control.
Comprising a close-match photometric detector, high-speed amplifier and data acquisition, the Flicker400 provides high-accuracy flicker percent, frequency and index assessment in a straightforward, highly repeatable procedure.
Whilst the photobiological impact of flicker is still widely debated, the implications for image recording equipment are undeniably apparent and of increasing significance with the continued adoption of SSL in studio and stadium environments.
