[sci.electronics] Headaches from Flourescent Lights

rmrin@inuxh.UUCP (D Rickert) (04/27/88)

Three suggestions:
1)  Turn off the flourescents,if possible,
and use incandescent lights, virtually
no flicker.
2)  Try to get "warm" (mostly red) bulbs
installed to replace the cool white
normally used.  They cost more and
give less light per watt so they are
not usually used in open spaces but
the red phosphor used has a longer
decay time and so reduces flicker.
3)  Wait thirty years, at age twenty
this bothered me a lot too, now it
much better.  Regards, Dick Rickert
