Illumination Devices

Intermittent illumination devices

This illumination device class includes switched light sources where the turn-on and the turn-off time are controlled by the leading and the falling edges of the strobe signal.

The width of the strobe pulse determines the ON time duration of the light source

NOTE:

The turn-on time and the turn-off time need to be considered when configuring the illumination controller!

Strobed illumination devices

This illumination device class includes switched light sources where only the turn-on time is controlled by the leading edge of the strobe signal.

The on-time duration is either uncontrolled or controlled by the illumination device itself.

NOTE:

The turn-on time and the ON time duration need to be considered when configuring the illumination controller.
