The LED bulbs have brought about a revolution. Their number has increased tremendously. Due to this, it has also brought few issues such as flicker in the bulbs which cannot be ignored. In order to rectify that, Burton Lighting Inc. has the solution with Flicker-less LED technology(TM) used in The Burton Bulb. The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers has issued “Recommended Practice for Modulating Current in High-Brightness LEDs for Mitigating Health Risks to Viewers. However, the measures needed to reduce flicker increase the cost of the electronics in the bulb, and many mass-market LED bulbs do not spend the extra money to reduce flicker”.
As per Burton Lighting CEO, “Producing excess, harmful flicker and an inability to dim properly has been two disaster areas for the LED industry, I was unhappy with the products being presented as the standard, I knew I could do better!”
The company has researched for years to handle stroboscopic flicker by utilizing integrated circuits and valley fill capacitors. This help in eliminating visible flicker as well as reduce the amount of invisible flicker to minimal amounts and allow the use of conventional dimmer switches with the bulbs.
In keeping with the current trend of using vintage style bulbs, the Burton Bulb has developed with an Edison style glass bulb. Unlike other “vintage style” LED bulbs which commonly use 4 straight LED segments, the Burton Bulb has a spiral LED strip which mimics an incandescent bulb and adds a touch of “Neo-Vintage” style to any fixture where the bulb is visible.
