CIBSE, SLL Seek Bids for their Project to Study Effects of Flicker

  Organisations are being invited to pitch for a ground-breaking research project into the perception of flicker by humans and to ascertain if there are detrimental effects on performance.
  The Knowledge Management Committee of the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE), and the Society of Light and Lighting (SLL), are inviting researchers to submit proposals for a project that will carry out a series of controlled experiments on men and women of a range of ages in order to investigate the impact of flicker on their health and comfort.
  The work follows on from a report published last year by Public Health England, the SLL and CIBSE into the effects of artificial lighting on humans. This new project will aim to confirm whether people of a range of ages are affected adversely by flicker from modern LED lamps.
  Dr Anastasia Mylona, Research Manager at CIBSE, said “There have been reports of the adverse effects of flickering LED lights in the media, so this is not a new phenomenon, but there has never been any peer-reviewed research carried out on the subject before. This research will back up the speculation and anecdotal evidence with solid data, which will inform how we use LED lights and design lighting systems for decades to come.”
  Further information in this regard can be collected from www.cibse.org
