Systemic Incompatibility Analysis of LED T8 Retrofit: A Logic Variable Model for Architecture Interoperability and Safety Policy
Abstract
This paper presents a systemic analysis of LED T8 retrofit technology using the XY Logic Variable Model. It identifies the technical mismatch between lamp architectures and luminaire wiring, which leads to safety hazards such as the "Hidden Fuse" crisis and unnecessary electronic waste. The study advocates for a transition toward Fail-safe by Design standards and modular driver architectures to ensure long-term sustainability. Note: This work is currently under consideration at an academic journal and is shared here as a preprint.
