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....

Yeah, for multiple reasons. When I was in college, I figured I had already seen just about all of the possible plots on TV. I would watch a movie and realize it was a different set of people doing the same story. My TV watching watching dropped rapidly at that point. I figured I was wasting a lot of time watching other people live their lives rather than living my own.

Sure, I like a bit of escape now and then or a good football game.
