FLICKER PERFORMANCE

Thanks to its 4kHz dimming frequency, the LINE-5CV-DMX effectively reduces the occurrence of the Flicker phenomenon. Depending on an individual’s sensitivity and the nature of their activities, flickering can impact one’s well-being, even if the changes in luminance are beyond the threshold detectable by the human eye.
The graph shows the phenomenon of Flickering in function at the frequency, measured throughout the dimming range.
The results show the low-risk zone (yellow) and the no-effect zone (green). Defined by IEEE 1789-20156
