Arent flourescent lights bad?

Question

I always thought that they were supposedly bad for your health - they always told us in school that it was low cost lighting that was bad for your eyesight amongst other things....why are these new energy saving lightbulbs so promoted then? Personally I find the light is hard to stand for long periods and really dont want to switch until they use something other than flourescent.

Answer 1

Well I can't stand them.  They always give me eye-strain and make me feel drained.  Under normal daylight conditions I'm fine and have great eye-sight.  I don't care what the "experts" say, I know how they affect me and I know thousands would agree with me.
