I am personally very concerned about the move to drop incandescents.
I am one of those who are very sensitive to the strobe effect of
fluorescent bulbs (my eyes have what is known as a high "flicker
fusion frequency"). I avoid stores that use fluorescents as much as I
practically can and I light my office with incandescents.
However, I am very encouraged about the development of LED lighting.
I have an LED lamp that I use in my lab and I am quite comfortable
working with it on - just as much as with incandescent. LED's are
currently rather expensive, but I am sure the cost will come down. I
would hate to see fluorescents mandated to the detriment of research
on LEDs.
