Had any experience with them? <br /> <br />Randy <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I've seen them on some of the ship's I've sailed on and though the light is suppose to be in the same spectrum as the sun and yes they seem to be better then other fluorescent bulbs, they're still fluorescent. Bright, harsh and hard on the eyes. During a two year stint in the office, an OSH Nurse did several assessments on work areas around me and recommended that the overhead lights should disconnected and an alternative and less direct source be found to light the area due to excessive glare caused. You can well imagine how that went over! <br /> <br />I believe they can be used successfully if they produce indirect light. Anytime I've seen them used on a layout; they're used in conjunction with valences. <br /> <br />Lighting would make a good "thread"
