Roger Haar mentioned T8 fluorescent bulbs. My college is also replac=
ing
old fluorescents with T8 bulbs and fixtures. I believe these new bul=
bs
and fixtures are superior in many ways. Most noticeable to me is the
color temperature. I find the T8 color balance much nicer than the o=
ld
tubes. As Roger mentioned, flicker is not a problem with the new bul=
bs
and fixtures. I personally was never consciously bothered by flicker=
in
the old bulbs, but some people claim the flicker is harmful even if y=
ou
don't notice it.
