Light sourceexamples

Light sources are devices whose primary function is to produce visible or near-visible radiant energy for general illumination and specialty applications. They include incandescent, fluorescent, and high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps, as well as solid-state lighting (SSL) that may be pin- or screw-based.

Members are leaders in developing a means to measure and define acceptable limits for temporal light artifacts (i.e., flicker and stroboscopic effects), with a focus on LED technology. They also address power quality, harmonics, photobiological issues, infrared radiation, and luminaire best practices.
