The 100 Hz flickering (or 120Hz flickering in other countries) is advantageous in some cases such as speed controlling of record players. I use a flickery LED bulb I screw into a desk lamp to do this with a record player I use to convert vinyl records into audio files. In some record players there are neon lamps (or led lights) built in right next to the strobe pattern of the turntable but not in the one I have.

I really appreciate how thorough your videos are; the amount of effort that you put in really shines through! Do you think the ambient lighting made the flicker less visible to your eyes, or do you not even perceive any flicker in a darkened room? The reason I find this strange is that the flicker from LED lamps with insufficient smoothing or current linearization circuitry really bothers me a lot. It is especially bad at the 100Hz harmonic that we have here, but I also tested a few lamps at 60Hz mains (which gave a 120Hz flicker, that I verified with a photodiode connected to my 'scope), which was still very visible and annoying, especially if there isn't any other sources of steady illumination. I have found that the dead-time when the LED is off is the most important variable (apart from the frequency, of course), with lamps that switch off completely for a part of the input waveform being much more 'flickery' than lamps which only dip down to 10-20% of their maximum intensity. However, even with the best examples that I have, of the latter type of lamp (its brightness oscillates at 100Hz, around 70% of it's maximum amplitude, from 100% down to a 40% minimum), the flicker is still annoying enough that I simply can't use it as the only source of light in a room (there can be multiple types of LED bulbs installed in the room, but since they all flicker at the same frequency AND in phase with each other, the flicker doesn't diminish at all).
@DiodeGoneWild6 жыл бұрын
I think that 100 or 120Hz should not be visible to human eye, as long as you don't move your eyebals rapidly or don't observe fast moving objects. On moving objects, you may see strips or dots. But without much motion, you shouldn't perceive 100-120 Hz flicker. What you may perceive is a flicker of some remote control systems transmitted via mains. I sometimes see it too, but it only happens randomly (usualy for 1 second every time the remote signal is transmitter). ... The higher the frequency, the brighter the light has to be for you to see the flicker. But above about 90 Hz you shouldn't see any flicker no matter how bright the light is. You may still perceive moving objects as dotted or striped, especially when the light dips down to nearly zero.
@mortlet51806 жыл бұрын
DiodeGoneWild; Ah you're right, I was throwing and catching a ball to see if the lighting would have any effect. I think what you are referring to is called the 'flicker fusion threshold', which indeed is only valid for a completely stationary (or very slowly changing) image. The annoying part is, even when simply reading a book (where the 100Hz flicker is completely eliminated, I still get really bad headaches after 45-60 minutes, which I don't get at all with incandescent lighting. It seems similar to the effect in computer games where slow movement at 60fps seems fine to me, but fast motion (such as in Counter Strike) still gives me bad motion sickness, even at the maximum refresh rate of my monitor (144Hz). I would have expected that gaming motion sickness would be related to sea-sickness, but I only get motion sickness when I am playing a fast-paced shooter myself. Maybe there's just something wrong with my brain's processing of motion and other people don't seem to care about temporal aliasing, because they simply don't experience any negative effects thereof?
@DiodeGoneWild6 жыл бұрын
Different people probably have different sensitivity to flicker. I'm totally not bothered by it, but some people may be affected by it. The solution probably is to use LEDs with a better smoothing. Especially the higher power LEDs with a buck regulator tend to have much better smoothing. Low power LED (like 3W) tend to have a capacitive dropper and a poor smoothing so they are cheaper. CFL's are generally smoothed well because the self oscillating inverted doesn't run properly without smoothing. And tungsten lamps have a low flicker because of the thermal mass of the filament (especially the high power ones or the low voltage ones with a thick filament).

I think it's not incandescent watts, it's Chinese watts :). I plan to buy some proper isolation transformer. I have 200VA one, but it's vintage and the isolation is made of paper, which may have been deteriorated and so the safety of it is questionable. I'm probably gonna buy a new one, about 50VA, enough for most LEDs and chargers. The cat doesn't care about thunders, but the dog is quite scared.
@goamarty6 жыл бұрын
You could/should test the isolation of the old one. The most primitve way would be a small voltage doubler from the mains with a series resistor or small bulb and connect this between primary and secondary if you do not have access to an isolation tester. What is then ratio between Chinese (LED) watts and equivalent incandescent watts? I estimate this is closer together than a factor of two, at least closer than to the real LED power consumption.
@Basement-Science6 жыл бұрын
It´s always helpful to look for other listings of the same LED lamp when you order from china. For example, I bought some "8W" LED filament lamps that turned out to be 5.2W (8.6 VA), but many other sellers listed it as 16W.
@BenjaminEsposti6 жыл бұрын
If you have the money, spend it on a larger isolation transformer, perhaps 1kVA or so. It would come in handy for repairing stuff (anything from TVs to power supplies and as you said, LED lamps, etc..) when you need to isolate it in order to not short out the mains with your oscilloscope. (Obviously you have to be careful not to shock yourself too, but the ground isolation helps reduce that possibility.) If you get one with a center tap, or even two separate secondary windings, that would be even better because you can use it to buck the mains voltage to 120V if needed.
@Basement-Science6 жыл бұрын

There is a different version of this lamp from Foxanon with a black led PCB which supposedly uses a constant current driver to avoid flickering. They even provide a picture of the PCB to show the difference compared to your version of the lamp. I have purchased a few of them and so far I could not identify any flicker or interference with the phone camera. I would really appreciate if you could analyze the difference with this model. There are a few sellers, but if somebody wants to check them out just go to eBay and search "E14 E27 Led Corn Bulbs 4020SMD Light Lamps" (international product search). By the way, if you check the product description you will notice that 30W is the equivalent CFL power for the same lumen output, not the actual power (Chinese marketing at its best).

@johncoops6897 Жыл бұрын
Replying to a very old comment... The current drawn is the current drawn... it's fluctuating/pulsing DC (always positive, but changes voltage repeatedly). Basically, an AC waveform but not going positive / negative in reference to zero volts. The LEDs only conduct when the voltage is high enough to illuminate them. Since there is only a tiny output smoothing capacitor, the voltage is not smoothed... the LEDs are literally switching on and off at rectified mains frequency (100Hz). You cannot measure watts with a multimeter. He built a power meter which uses that cheap multimeter as a display. The details are on his website.

What are this 2 capacitors are doing in this circuit ? What would happen if there are no this 2 capacitors?
@johncoops6897 Жыл бұрын
Replying to old question. The first capacitor is termed a "dropper". It is acting as a current limiting resistor, and does the same thing as a resistor except that it doesn't waste power or get hot. Then the circuit has the bridge rectifier, which converts the (current limited) mains voltage into a rectified (pulsing) 100Hz DC. The second capacitor is supposed to act as a smoothing capacitor. So it should store enough power during the "low pulses" of the cycle to run the LEDs, which would prevent flicker. However the capacitor is thousands of times too small for that task, so it does almost nothing to reduce the flicker. Since the voltage is so high, they must use a 400V rated capacitor in that position... Space limitations and cost means that they cannot fitthe 100 or even 1000uF capacitor which would tame that ripple and flicker. The circuit would operate exactly the same without the second (electrolytic) capacitor. However it must have the first input capacitor or there would be no current limiting and the whole thing would explode instantly.

Good LED lamps usualy contain a fusible resistor which works both as an inrush resistor and as a fuse. It mostly tends to be something from 10ohms to 100ohms. For safety, it should really be designed as fusible, which means that it fails in a safe manner (no fire, no short circuit...). The power rating of this resistor usualy is 1W in LED lamps.

The wattage is rated based on lumens. Its light output is equivalent to a 30 watt incandescent bulb. It's actual power draw is significantly less, because of the efficacy of the LED elements. That IS a correct equivalent rating!! Other than that, you're exactly right on everything else. The reason for the ripple current, is because LEDs are shunt regulators. Their voltage changes very little with current. That 100 Ohm resistor is the only impedance in the DC circuit, and 100 Ohms can take voltage off a 6 microfarad capacitor pretty quickly. To use a higher value of resistor would reduce flicker, but, reduce efficiency because of voltage drop across the higher resistance at the same current. It would contribute to heat, raise the wattage drawn by the lamp, without increasing light output. Modern LED lamps use an inductor as a reactor in place of the 100 Ohm resistor, to reduce the current ripple, and that almost eliminates flickering.

Why do you have to use those transformers? What would happen if not?

Nobody replied, so I will... The transformers are wired as a 240:240V isolation transformer. This means that neither of the "output" wires are connected to the house's mains wiring. So, whilst there is about 240V AC between those 2 wires, neither of them has any connection to the ground (earth) which is where the Neutral of your home's wiring is referenced. In a single-phase supply like in Europe, your house is actually only wired with ONE mains cable which supplies 240V AC. The second return wire is via the earth (dirt) back to the power station. Hence why if you touch the 240V mains, the current flows through you and out of your shoes.... and that hurts. The isolation transformer also means that he can connect the oscilloscope to the circuit. This is needed because the black "ground" clip of the oscilloscope is grounded to earth. Any current that passes through that connection will blow up the oscilloscope, so you cannot measure AC mains with a standard oscilloscope. It needs to be a "floating" ground that won't provide a return current path. So, the purposes of the 2 transformers is to create a single transformer where both leads have absolutely nothing to do with the original mains. In this way, whilst there is power available between those wires, there is no way it can flow from those wires to either mains Live or mains Neutral (earth).
