		<description><![CDATA[ With the ledlamps becoming more and more powerful and given that the blue content of the light from leds in increasing as well, there is a growing concern for blue light hazard.
The IEC 62471:2006 norm explains about how to measure Blue Light Hazard, tha could lead to photoretenitis. This norm has an update in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In almost all lamp measurement articles one can find the measured value for Power Factor. In this article I explain more about it.


Definition power factor
The power factor (PF) equals the division between the net consumed power P in Watts by the apparent power S in VoltAmpere:

The PF indicates how efficient the electrical power is consumed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dimmers are used in many places, to gerenate the requested atmosphere. And one can believe that dimming also saves on consumed power, which is true, but how much?


The working principle of a dimmer
A dimmer that works for normal incandescent lamps and halogen lamps, works according to the principle of phase cuttting. See also the explanation [...]]]></description>
