Flourescent Lights

nomadicfollower · 12.14.2006, 09:43 PM

For or against?

I can't stand the things. So artifical (as you don't see this type of light occuring in nature). So bright.
I have a reading lamp that is lighted by a fluorescent bulb which I can't use because it reflects the page's whitness right back in my face, causing squinting, thus a headache, and other annoyances.
40 watt bulbs are all I can stand.

What's your stance?

(painful misspelling in title (fluorescent, I know), kindly disregard it.)

The brighter the better.

You'll strain your eyes with a 40 watt bulb you know.

nomadicfollower · 12.14.2006, 09:47 PM

Yeah, but bright lights make my temple pulse. I can't stand it and there's no way I can read under one.

almost got killed by one once. fell off the ceiling onto a counter at the restaraunt i was working at, less than a foot away from me. it shot broken glass and poinonous gas across the room to where i had just been standing 10 seconds before. that was pretty scary. i wasn't a big fan of them in the first place, either. they make an annoying sound.

I voted for them, but only because I'm not against them.

I find that they're quite annoying. They have them in my gym and you can't see the shuttle EVER when looking up because the lights are so bright, so the shuttle lands and you lose a point because of the lights. I know it's just a game, but it frusterates me.

The worst is driving at night and some asshole has those halogen leadlights that nearly blind you when you pass them

This has gone to far!
Conserved energy is hardly worth it, eyesight, bah! I'll take my chances (away from the white light (messin' up my mind))

Fuck a fluorescent light, seriously.
The absolute ugliest, headachiest, coldest, buzzingest way to light a room ever invented.

Hate.
So.
Much.

flouresecnt light is worse then rapists

Savage Clone · 12.16.2006, 02:01 PM

How about being raped with a fluorescent light?
A fate worse than death, surely.

k-krack · 12.16.2006, 02:06 PM

I like the buzz they make, and looking at the gases flickering inside them when they are dying, and just watching them... I voted for them. BUTBUTBUTBUTBUT! I would not have them in my home. In school they are nice, though.

jon boy · 12.16.2006, 02:13 PM

Hey pantophobia, haven't seen you around in a while. And of course they're worse than rapists, if some girl raped me I'd be delighted
