Analysis for Speckle Phenomenon of Rapid-start Fluorescent Lamps with Internal Starting Aids

摘要

References(6) The speckle phenomenon, which is discoloration on the inner surface of a lamp tube, sometimes appears in rapid-start fluorescent lamps with internal starting aids. There is a great deal of patent literature on methods of preventing this phenomenon but most of it is experimental or fragmentary. We analyzed this phenomenon by numerical analysis with a computer and were able to gain a comprehensive understanding of a mechanism of its occurrence and were able to obtain ideas on how to prevent it.
