Write to Steinberg! annomalous February 14 2007, 21:15:35 UTC

I think we should communicate with Senator Darrell Steinberg, chair of California's Legislative Blue Ribbon Commission on Autism, about this. The autism commission should look into this proposed lightbulb legislation, because it is an autistic issue.

Those DAMNED F***ING LIGHTS! irukai June 27 2007, 18:04:28 UTC

Yes, this is how angry I am.

I may not be able to go to school full-time or even much in the way of part-time, and definitely not in my major - for this very reason.

I live in Sacramento, and I literally can't see well/function under the lights that any school in the district uses.

DEMAND BALLAST UPGRADES AND NEW TECHNOLOGY. DONT SETTLE FOR THE FLUORESCENT LIGHTS OF THE 1960s!

P.S. As a former resident, I know all too well that California schools suck. You can thank Proposition 13 for that.

All of the problems you describe relating to fluorescent lights, are caused by the 60Hz current that creates a 120Hz flicker rate, sometimes with much more visible 60Hz flicker in color tone if the bulb is aged, worn, or badly constructed ( ... )
