The capacity of a flood light to endure electrical disturbances, such as those caused by lightning strikes or the switching of the power source, may be evaluated with the use of a surge generator. The steps involved in conducting a surge immunity test on a flood light with the use of a surge generator are outlined in the following general manner: Getting the flood light ready involves ensuring that it is in excellent operating condition and that it is connected to the power source in the correct manner. Connect the flood light to the surge generator by using the appropriate test leads to make the connection between the flood light and the surge generator. Activate the surge generator by using the controls on the surge generator to program the required surge characteristics. These parameters include surge voltage, surge current, and surge duration. The rules and regulations that the flood light has to adhere to will determine the particular specifications that must be adhered to. Sta
