Subject: BS: Unpleasant new coil lighting!
Anybody else got thoughts on those new flourescent coil lights that we're all being pressured to use in place of the old style incandescent light bulbs? I tried putting one of them in a ceiling fixture on a ceiling which has four lights spaced across. Tried the new thingie in one of those four positions when one of the old style bulbs had burn out.

Well, the light from it is so harsh and unpleasant in comparison that I could feel myself well on the way to a headache after only about 2 or 3 minutes of trying to work under the damn thing.

So I took it out and got an old incandescent bulb instead.

I do not like the light these little flourescents throw, not one bit. It bothers my eyes. Anyone else had similar problems?
