No... not epileptic. I have known 2 women that were photosensitive... one would run away (literally) from the light fron CFLs because she would start reacting to the light negatively... CFL light bothers me only slightly... it’s just an odd spectrum, I guess.
With the LEDs, what I am talking about is a specificly disorientating light... just like a “puke light”...
Gyro Gearloose was a character in some of the old Donald Duck comics. He is famous for inventing the Gloom Light. It made light places dark.
