Re: [GBlist] Regular vs. Fluorescent Lighting



Great summary on lighting by Alex Wilson at Environmental Building News a month or so back;

                            www.buildinggreen.com

            Electric Lighting: Focus on Lamp Technologies
                             EBN Vol. 11, No. 6

I've always avoided fluorescents because of the research [with school
children] of it agitating the nervous system.  Obviously the energy choice
goes against this.  We are building a new home and I'm wondering if we
should use fluorescents anywhere.  Does anybody have any comments on this?
Our son was bothered by the fluorescent lighting which is why we avoided it
when we built last time.  He's grown and gone, but if it affected him it
must have some impact on us also?

Thanks!
