However, if people with these conditions report experiencing problems with CFLs, it cannot be ruled out that there may be some other, yet-to-be-investigated feature of fluorescent light that is having the negative effect. I think people know best what they experience, even if science fails to explain it. <br /><br />The same goes for anecdotal reports from other groups e.g. people with Sensory Processing Disorder, autism spectrum conditions, ADHD, Scotopic Sensitivity etc. of which many report problems with fluorescent light. Just because no one bothers investigating why, or can't think of a plausible cause, it doesn't mean these reported problems don't exist. <br /><br />I should blog more about this. Or finish commenting that FAQ.Halogenicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15930263920327483406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841558829925006026.post-60483114346782970842009-12-12T00:10:21.892+01:002009-12-12T00:10:21.892+01:00btw did you see:

That's the Osram assembly of already complex parts - <br />there's the manufacture of all the parts to take into account too<br />See http://ceolas.net/#li16x<br /><br />2. Transport (from China!), transport to recycling, recycling process, transport of mercury (etc) back to China, as under negotiation,<br />for reuse in new CFLs<br /><br />3. CFL power factor (not mentioned, as you say) <br />halving supposed energy savings in terms of energy needed at the power plant<br />http://ceolas.net/#li15eux<br /><br />4. Lifespan issues<br />CFLs lab tested in 3 hour cycles, not corresponding to real life use, on-off switching substantially cutting life<br />http://ceolas.net/#li15sox<br />Also brightness testing not equivalent to practical use,<br />heat factor of ordinary bulbs in temperate climates,<br />and a lot more from http://www.ceolas.net/#li13x onwardsPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04944677021417554218noreply@blogger.com
