Although I have not been succesful in finding any information on this topic I feel that this lighting is the root of many of our medical complaints. This lighting works by actually flickering at a very high speed which you do not see but your brain does. I have experiemented with task performance, reduction in headaches,seizures(partial/auras), attention with and without the lighting and have found that this lighting is the culprit. Many places of employment use this lighting and if you suffer from migrains/ADD, etc. this could be your problem. What do you think about this. Do you know of any websites that support this this claim. I am hoping to keep this topic open for as long as they allow so we can continue to get input on personal experiences with this issue. Even without epilepsy I feel this could disrupt the average persons brain. Causing it to misfire and create problems that could be eliminated by simply using the good old incadescent light. Whats your opinion?
I do not have photosensitive epilepsy but I have noticed a increase of partial seizures (Olfactory hallucinations, Deja Vu, Lack of attention,headache, weird feeling) while exposed to this light. I dont really trust eegs where they may not show misfiring deep in the brain or pick up auras.
I finally found this site that as some great information. Is this lighting the cause of your problems check it out. http://www.daylighting.com/Article-HealthHazardsofFluorescentLighting.htm

This is only a theory but I am finding supporting evidence. I welcome any information you all can give. Please give me hard evidence either way. Lets do this together. Hey we all get some of these symptoms at some point in our lives. Did this lighting play a role? We can all work together and hopefully help some people.
