Experimental Interharmonic Sensitivity Evaluation of LED Lamps Based on the Luminous Flux Flicker Model.

LED lamps have gradually replaced other lighting sources and have become mainstream in the lighting industry. The research on interharmonic sensitivity affecting their lighting quality cannot be ignored. By deconstructing the lamp-eye-brain module in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) flicker model, a luminous flux flicker model without the constraints of a specific light source was proposed. The test system and corresponding analysis method of the interharmonic-luminous flux transfer coefficient in the model were described in detail, and the accuracy of the test results of the system was verified via incandescent lamp heat balance model simulations. Based on the test results, the conversion method of the interharmonic ratio of LED lamps under the flicker limit based on the interharmonic-flicker limit curve of incandescent lamps was deduced. By testing and comparing the differences in interharmonic-flicker limit curves of different driving types of LED lamps, the experimental evaluation of their sensitivity was completed, and the reference for LED lamp selection, driver design, and compatibility standard formulation in different application scenarios was provided.
