B-2.4 Recycling.

UFC 3-530-01

01 April 2015

Change 3, 01 June 2016

Traditional light source types except incandescent sources contain some level of mercury. These light sources should be recycled to avoid release of any mercury into landfills. The cost of recycling light sources should be included in any life-cycle cost analysis.

B-3 EQUIPMENT PERFORMANCE.

B-3.1 Flicker.

HID light source sources will flicker due to the changes in line voltage. This flicker effect may be noticeable in certain applications and can be effectively eliminated with the use of high frequency electronic ballasts6

• If electronic ballasts are not used, the phases can be rotated to minimize flicker.

SSL luminaires can flicker when dimmed, especially with incompatible dimming controls and inadequate electrical infrastructure. Provide dimmer compatible with SSL luminaires and ensure that electrical infrastructure is adequate to operate SSL luminaires.

B-3.2 Noise.

Provide ballasts with a Class A noise rating.

B-3.3 Interference.

Electronic ballasts and SSL drivers have the potential to cause Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) when operated near other high frequency electronic equipment. This can be a significant issue when installed near electronic medical equipment. To prevent such interference, specify magnetic ballasts in those areas. Another more energy efficient option that will also avoid such interference is low frequency electronic ballasts. Available from some manufacturers, these ballasts operate at low frequencies and will not interfere with sensitive equipment.

These ballasts should be specified with <20% Total Harmonic Distortion (THO). SSL drivers should also be selected and rated for use near sensitive equipment, complying with FCC Title 47 Part 15.

B-3.4 Effects of Temperature.

Ambient air temperature affects the performance and output of fluorescent, SSL, and induction light sources. In exterior, low temperature applications (less than ten degrees C) provide ballasts capable of low temperature light source starts. Light output will be reduced until the light source warms up to operating temperature. Mercury amalgams added to fluorescent light sources improve the light source performance and provide for
