A telephonic handset comprises an active noise reduction (ANR) system. The ANR system comprises a reference microphone and an IIR filter. The IIR filter is receivingly coupled to the reference microphone with respect to noise reference signals, and it is transmittingly coupled to the receiver transducing element of the handset. The ANR system is configured as a fixed feed-forward noise cancellation system. Preferably, the IIR filter has a transfer function derived, in part, from the open-loop gain of a feedback noise cancellation system.

In specific embodiments of the invention, the noise reference microphone is situated so as to sample the ambient noise field near the front face of the receiver, but without directly sampling the noise field on the front face.

The operating frequency of a ballast is sufficiently far from resonance that, when a compact fluorescent lamp is dimmed to about one percent light output level, the ballast is operating with an open loop gain below a predetermined level, such as, for example, 15, and is operating with an output impedance greater than a predetermined level, such as, for example, the absolute value of the maximum negative incremental impedance of the lamp, and more preferably, greater than twice the absolute value of the maximum negative incremental impedance of the lamp. By changing the frequency to 85 kHz from 80 kHz, for example, the gain is maintained about the same whether the light output is at five percent or one percent, for example. This provides a stable control loop. In this manner, compact fluorescent lamps can be dimmed below about one percent light output, without dropping out and without observable flicker.
