PRACTICAL TEST
TASK
Two 40 W fluorescent lamps should be connected so that the total current is in phase with
the supply voltage. The Power factor becomes almost unity with no stroboscopic effect.

LIGHTING ENGINEERING
PRACTICAL TEST
(Solution)
C1
= capacitor
L1, L2 = choke
E1, E2 = fluorescent tube
Unity power factor is obtained when the two lamps are connected in a dual lamp (twin
tube) circuit. In this circuit one lamp has inductive and the other has capacitive effect.
The light and dark periods overlap, giving almost flicker-free light (no stroboscopic effect).
