I do not like fluorescent lighting. However, the evidence of health
and "wellbeing" feelings of workers (and, incidently, schoolchildren)
is that where people have to work away from natural daylight they are
better and healthier if "full-spectrum daylight" radiation screened
tubes are used. The work of Dr John Ott strongly confirms this including
hyperactivity and irritability of schoolchildren under the wrong type of
lighting.
Read:
"Light Radiation and You" by John Ott, 1982, 1990 Devin Adair Pubs, Conn.
ISBN 0 8159 5314 3 (hbk) 0 8159 6121 9 (pbk)
He says that then (1990) a 46 minute colour film was available showing 
the biological effects of light and low level radiation on plants, 
laboratory animals and school children. From International Film
Bureau, 332 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL, 60604.   312-427-4545.

I believe it is also possible to get near full spectrum incandescent 
bulbs but that they do not have very long life times. They are mainly
sold for horticultural growing purposes.  If you talk to indoor cannabis
growers you will find how important the "right" type of light is for
good flowerheads and high potentency. Ooops.......

Have fun folks and don't get too hung up on our crazy 1998 world
Alasdair 
ps Ed Maxey's note on reversing the polarity of tubes in dual tube
fittings is MOST interesting and helpful (as usual from his input).
I will carry out some tests to see what difference this makes to
the EMF E-field readings.  Thanks, Ed.
Sometimes the simplest things need vision to be recognised!
