'Banning of Incandescent Bulbs' and Its Influence to Electromagnetic Compatibility

摘要

This paper presents worldwide "Banning of incandescent bulbs" campaign, which aims to replace traditional incandescent bulbs that have long been known as inefficient sources of electrical lighting, with compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs). Controversy, operations and comparisons between these two alternatives are introduced in succession. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues, such as light flicker, which emerge more apparently because of the coming popularization of CFLs, will be discussed. Additionally, precautionary senses and steps to limit adverse interferences are mentioned when installing lighting systems.
