Flicker effect and efficiency relationship in light sources.

The physical change properties of light energy are considered in two different contexts: structural-based and light-generating energy source-based. Radiation changes originating from its structural features which are investigated based on particles and waves determine the type, color, and energy size of the radiation are the main features. Types of radiation depend on the structural frequency or wavelength of the light; they are called ultraviolet, visible lights, infrared, radio waves, etc. The energy-based vibration of the radiation which are visual interactions that can be explained by the principle of intermittent presence or absence of light, on the other hand, depends on the vibration or frequency in the energy source that turns into light. The presence or absence of light, depending on the energy source and intermittently, is a concept defined as the flicker effect or stroboscopic phenomenon in lighting, and it is examined here depending on the light sources. The energy-induced flicker effects of the lamps used for lighting purposes were discussed and their luminous efficacy and efficiency were analyzed. In the analyzes carried out, the flicker vibrations of the light energy obtained from the light sources were measured separately, and the luminance and opacity results were obtained for each of them in a unit period. In the next step, the lighting efficiencies for light sources are reconsidered with the obtained luminance and opacity analyzes. Thus, although some light sources seem to have high lumen efficiency in the instantaneous evaluation, it has been observed that they may have lower efficiency values when subjected to flicker-based luminance and non-luminous evaluation.
