Abstract

Flicker, or more precisely temporal light modulation (TLM), has re-emerged as a problem with the introduction of LED-based lighting technology. TLM, meaning variations in light intensity over time, may have negative effects on human health, causing annoyance, headaches, eyestrain and migraine. In addition to the unnecessary suffering TLM
causes in individuals, the negative consequences of TLM create an obstacle to broad and rapid adaptation of the new LED-technology and consequently also an obstacle to potential energy savings.
