Fluorescent Lights

[Immelmann]

I know, this is kinda random, but we recently replaced the bulbs in my room with fluorescents and they're really bugging me. Maybe it's just the blueishness; I don't know, but I really miss yellow naturalish type light from incandescents. Or am I just weird?

 

Whatever the case may be, do you prefer the shade/tinge/colour/idon'tknowwhattocallit of natural light over fluorescents?

[CLR-GTR]

I'd prefer the yellowish light over tight blue lights. Yellowish ones make me feel comfortable and at home, blue ones make me think of officespaces.

 

And you're not weird in that. In Holland, there's a law that prohibits sales of old fasion glowlightbulbs, as everybody should get the environmentalfriendly energysaving lights. Nobody buys them however, for two reasons: they're more expensive, and they give lightblueish light, which makes people feel worse than with moody yellowish old lightbulbs.

 

So it's not entirely odd.

I don't know what a light bulb is. I like to sit in the dark and be mysterious.

 

 

...

 

 

On a serious note I prefer yellow, y0.

I have fluorescent lights in my room & they don't bug me. The ones I have, have the yellowish tint & not blueish like most of them.

[Not Saop]

I honestly don't care.

Fluorescent bulbs? thats the Rubbish engery saving ones right? Well i hate them, take to long to brighten up!

 

And There not Envriomently friendly like they said!

[TimBud]

They bother me because you can't adjust them (at least the ones I've got).

Either on of off.

With the old style filament bulbs I can at least fiddle with the dial to get the right output.

 

Need an option for sometimes ;)

I prefer fluorescent bulbs, but I don't like the yellow tint of normal bulbs. It makes the room feel too warm and soft to me. That being said, I haven't made the switch in my room yet.

Flourescent lights bother me sometimes. It really depends on room colours and furniture arrangements and once that's sorted, there's a certain lighting to match those arrangements.

Yea I'm not a fan of them, the light they give off is too harsh. I have them in my room but rarely use them, instead using my table lamp.

[ScoobSTi]

Anyway, I prefer the yellow. And I agree with what most people are saying about the yellows, it makes me feel at home lol. The way I angled the lamp in my room makes everything else dark, except for the area around the computer.

 

Is that bad? Too much light from/and around the monitor?

The flicker of fluro's can hurt my eyes after a while, I prefer the old-school light globes (I'm not even sure if they sell them around here any more). I've heard stories of others stockpiling the old ones as well, since they have skin conditions irritated by the fluro's.

We've been using them for years now because they last longer and use much less energy. But I don't think they ever bothered me apart from being very bright as soon as I turn them on. That only really bothers me at night though when someone turns them on unexpectedly.

 

Mine are quite yellowish, a warm yellow though. Works well in my room.

I doesn't bother me.

They are the same ligth color as the old ones.
