Abstract

The spectral and temperal characteristics of light sources are important considerations to optimize the performance of a lighting system to meet the needs of the receiver. The output of sources varies by wave length and may peak in the ultra violet, visible or infra-red portion of the spectrum. Variations in the supply frequency (dc, 60 hertz, etc) and the wave shaping provided by the ballast needed for some lamps plus the lamp operation characteristics will produce changes in output with time. Proper selection of the lamp and its ballast when required can achieve optimum performance to meet the receiver needs and any added system requirements.
