Lamp Failure Sensor

Sensors and indicators in plain English: WMATA's WEE-Z issue

Put in unvarnished english, the problem is that they’re talking about trying to use a system designed to take to task you one thing to determine another. That table lamp is meant to light up your scope, not tell you if your power is flowing steadily. At one time or another we’ve realized that the power is out because a lamp isn’t lit, but that’s a very broad determination and Catoe and Kubicek are talking about very exact determinations.

Try a barely experiment: if  your lamp is one that you can turn on and off by turning a knob in a single road, twist it as far and fast as you can. If you can do it fast enough and stop in the same on/off condition you started in you might not see a glimmer.

You know the switch actually does stop the power from prosperous to the light. Turn it just once and you’re sitting in the dark. But if the time of time where it’s off is so brief that the glowing bulb doesn’t have a occur to dim then you can’t tell it ever happened.
