Yes it is. EN55015 applies to emissions from lamps. >In fact, in Europe, ITE conducted emissions must >be regulated so as not to cause desk/room lights to "flicker", >as in when a fuser lamp in a printer kicks on. Well, that applies to everything connected to the public LV mains supply, not just ITE. See EN61000-3-3. > >Apparantly the proper functioning of lighting takes precedence >over the propoer functioning of radios and the like affected by >the lights? No, it's simply that it isn't considered reasonable to have a radio and a CFL in close proximity. If you want a lamp and a radio close together, use an incandescent lamp. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk After swimming across the Hellespont, I felt like a Hero. ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
