Qualitative analysis means that all amplitude levels are relative to the 120 Hz spectral line.

Lab setup: representative light bulbs, light dimmer, light source and photodetector. During testing the detector was battery powered to eliminate 60 Hz.

Typical spectral output from the photodetector. This particular spectrum is from a halogen light bulb with the dimmer at 75% (100% is full brightness).

We did not test with an inverter fluorescent lamp. The highest spectral components we observed fall within frequency range 1. It would be useful to have more information about interference sources that generate significant energy above 40 KHz. How would inverter fluorescent lamps be deployed in VLC environments?

Conclusions

Other then for the dimmable CFL, the spectrum of the detected interference light is <10 KHz. If the dimmable CFL is included then the spectrum extends up to about 22 KHz under certain dimming conditions.
