Actually, I use compact fluorescents almost everywhere
(I prefer the
higher apparent colour temperature). There are 2 specific places I don't
use them -- one is over the lathe (I am worried about a possible
stroboscopic effect making the machine appear stationary when it's not)
and the second is in the darkroom (they have a significantly long
afterglow after being turned off -- several minutes -- which is a right
pain there).
I'd love to get properly daylight-balanced compact florries or 12V LED
lamps (the ones that fit the halogen lamp bases).
What about electronic ballast? That would strobe (if at all) at around
1kHz, so less flicker (which gives me a headache, the whole reason I
don't use compact florries) and less chance of strobing.
