Abstract:
Energy is saved in lighting lamps by pulse operation at periodic duty cycles of less than 100% on time with little effect on apparent brightness when viewed by the normal human eye because of the quality of retention of a peak flask for a finite time. At periodic frequencies above about fourteen cycles the lamps appear to be continuously energized with little flicker.
