I'm no lighting expert, but maybe it has something to do with the gasses used, or the amount of gasses used????

Alas, politicians seldom think things through. Like Oregon now having 10% ethanol in all pump gas sold...despite the growing evidence that it harms the environment more than it helps.

Back to the fluorescent thing...if that happens here we may have to revert to kerosene lamps. I'm NOT kidding.


I've wondered if the flourescent color balance of artificial light could cause many of the cases of migraines.
Flourescents emit a light that is green, look at your photos if they haven't been color corrected. You add magenta to get rid of it. Could this color shift - away from daylight balanced light - put some strain on the eyes/brain, etc?
Hmmmm.
