FLUORESCENT lights

Post Reply New Topic

This not flickering but i dont understand but its pretty bright but i seen brighter lights bothers me someone explain

There is a blue tint to that light
Blue light appears brighter and more painful on the eyes than pure white.

Personally, i prefer a yellow-ish tint

that light is quite concentrated in its dispersion, with the lions' share right in that one central spot and not much side wash. that always bugged me, it isn't too much less obnoxious than a bare light bulb.

Agreed - as both an autistic and a migraine sufferer it's well known to avoid fluro or hard blue spectrum lights.
I have similar problems with all forms of such light, such as halogen, LED, and "energy saver" lights. Stick to red spectrum lights, like traditional bulbs that give yellow light. I even use lanterns and candles if minimal light needed.
Someone once told me that our eyes can't react well enough to keep enough light out in this form, which sounds suspiciously mythological to me.

I think I was in 4th grade when I first made the connection between fluorescent lights and getting headaches. Even when I don't suffer from a headache, I find them to be visually obnoxious. The "warm" CFLs don't bother me as much. Thankfully, I work in an environment where most of the overhead fluorescent lights are turned off (I'm mainly surrounded by graphics artists and other photographers).

At home, I've started switching all of our lighting to LED bulbs where practical. Those don't bother me at all, and they're also cheap to operate.

This is saying cool white when i move eyes it goes like jumping around its like double light while u moving around ur vision its annoying its fast blue even more annoying it makes me dont want read it sign on school thing i cant even read it in distance its really bright annoying

I hate blue lights is brightest for me yellow headlights is ok white not really white and blue together bad makes me cover my eyes hard blue leds really bothers makes me frustration

Is it just me or does that picture hurt anyone else's eyes?

No its just a picture u only see it in real life even when i look at fence from sun thats how i see its annoying even colour sensitivity its when i go outside i see pattern vibration its fence its like simular fluorescent lights buzz i dont like it dont want look at it but just distraction

They give me a headache too.

I tend to direct my gaze downward most of the time, glaring sunlight and bright lights hurt my eyes while flashing lights can cause me to feel panicky and hurt my head.

Something about that picture gives me visual discomfort but it may be psychological in that I'm anticipating pain but I couldn't say for sure.

Hah I thought that was just me. Even the picture of it is obnoxious, no wonder the real light drives the OP crazy.

when i look at it flurorescent lights my brain goes vibrations

I HATE fluorescent lighting and even, to a certain extent, all overhead lighting. I have the lights over my cubicle at work turned off and all indirect lighting at my desk. It's soft fluorescent-- like incandescent colored-- but all indirect so it's not nearly as annoying.

I hate the sound it makes too, although as I've gotten older I don't hear it as much. Or maybe the lights have gotten better over the years, I don't know.
