RE: [GBlist] Regular vs. Fluorescent Lighting

["Ralph Bicknese" <ralph.bicknese@christnerinc.com>]

I use a combination of fluorescents (slowly adding more) and incandescents
(slowly scaling these back) at home and have noticed no ill effects from the
fluorescents.  I also have a great deal of daylight in most areas,
especially in winter, and feel that has a very positive psychological
effect.

Cheers,
Ralph Bicknese

Subject: [GBlist] Regular vs. Fluorescent Lighting


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!
Donna
