The light from fluorescents gives both my wife and me headaches.

Do you mean the long tube type? They flicker 120 times a second and seem to bother some folks. The CF bulbs flicker faster than your TV set, so, unless TV gives you a headache, CF bulbs shouldn't.

TV usually gives me a headache, but I don't think it has anything to do with flickering....
