Abstract :
The authors describe IR (infrared ray) interference between IR remote-control systems for electric home appliances and high frequency electronic ballast lighting. The separation of the carrier frequency of an IR remote-control system and the lamp operating frequency of high frequency lighting is the most efficient way of preventing this interference. The phenomenon, preventive approaches and experimental results of IR interference experiments are also described
