English term or phrase: flicker
Definition from NEMA Surge Protection Institute:
Slow variations in voltage that cause the light intensity in a fluorescent light to vary and give the impression of unsteadiness of visual perception.

Example sentence(s):
  • Flicker is a difficult problem to quantify and to solve. The untimely combination of the following factors is required for flicker to be a problem: 1) some deviation in voltage supplying lighting circuits and 2) a person being present to view the possible change in light intensity due to the voltage deviation. The human factor significantly complicates the issue and for this reason flicker has historically been deemed "a problem of perception." grouper.ieee.org
  • Voltage flicker tracking is essential for electric power quality analysis. The instantaneous voltage flicker magnitude, frequency and phase are estimated using Kalman filtering technique. Acta Press
  • This flicker is objectionable only when the magnitude and frequency of occurrence of the voltage drop exceed certain thresholds. cipco.apogee.net

flimmer


Definition from own experience or research:
Snabba och obehagliga förändringar i intensitet hos en ljuskälla eller en bildskärm

Example sentence(s):
  • TL5 Super 80 är det flimmerfria lysröret som endast innehåller 5mg Hg. - Cardi katalog  
  • För första gången kan en undersökning visa att elöverkänsliga reagerar negativt på lysrörsflimmer. - Forskning och Framsteg 6/97  
  • Bildskärm utan flimmer Qualitec Distribution i Fittja presenterar en bildskärm (CRT-skärm) från Mitsubishi, Diamond Plus 92. [...] skärmen har hög bandbredd, det vill säga bilden uppdateras oftare vilket medför att skärmen inte flimrar. - Ny Teknik 23 maj 2001  

Explanation:
Den engelska definitionen (som bara gäller följder av spänningsvariationer) är smalare än den svenska.
