The danger of compact fluorescent lighting

Snips:

. I know I’m not the only one. I’ve talked to others who have similar problems and there have been some reports about CFLs increasing migranes, depression, and worsening symptoms in diseases such as Lupus.

. Compact fluorescent lights (CFL) produce radio wave frequencies. ……..The closer you sit to the bulb the greater your exposure. Because the high frequencies travel along the wire you can be exposed in other rooms of your home as well as the room that contains the CFL.

. new research has come to light that indicates that CFLs emit a high humming sound that is not in our range of hearing but is in the range of hearing of cats and dogs. Can you image hearing a high pitched humming sound all day long. It would be enough to drive you nuts! Many pet owners report that their cats or dogs do not want to be in rooms with CFL bulbs on and will become anxious if they are forced to be.

Two cats and one dog. They must be mutants.
They would sleep ON the damned things if they could manage it. The dog is too big to try.

Silly season is among us. My critters sleep soundly while we watch movies with theater surround sound.
