Posted in General at 1:32 am

I think the compact fluorescents i installed in my room are hurting my eyes…I’ll give it a few more days.

    I suspect the flicker is the problem, not the color of the light. I thought modern CFLs were supposed to be a lot better in that respect, but my eyes tend to be pretty sensitive to flicker so these might not work for me….

    although I have fluorescent tubes in my office and those don’t seem to bother me…maybe I need to not buy the 4/$7 special bulbs.

    That was almost the title of this post, but I thought it was too cliche. I moved the CFLs to the living room and put incandescent bulbs back in my room.

    I also changed out the porch light and one of the kitchen lights for CFLs (had to use up the four-pack…and it’s nice not to have to change the bulbs every few months…)

    I draw the line at planting corn in the backyard to make butanol for my car.
