All six of my kids went to school here in Chicago land. All sixteen of the grand kids also. In fact, last week we went to one of their band concerts at the middle school. All were fluorescent. California? Well they have their own way of doing things I guess. I thought incandescents were a lot more expensive to operate than fluorescent. Produce a lot more heat also. Maybe that�s why California has such a money problem not to mention their electric producing nightmare of a few years. I remember a few years back arranger keyboards were not what they are now. Don�t know that they flickered at you but people sure snickered at them. Quite different now. Wonder if fluorescents have improved. Seems everybody's got em, our work places and even where all the politicians hang out and claim they are working for us. Wonder if the politicians got together with the electric juice boys and the incandescent makers and made a bundle. The reason I wonder is that the schools used to turn out some pretty decent educated kids compared to the wordless and spelless wonders of today. Could be like that article in the Time mag. I read the other day. Eggs were out and now their in. Better for you than ever. Could be the fluorescent issue was only a pocket liner for the politicos. Sure funny that good old Illinois juice does not flicker my light, my friends lights or any of the professionals that have given testimonials on the concertlight site. Could be that the Cold cathode fluorescent: length 10.5" (26 cm); diameter 0.16" (4.1 mm) Rated at 30,000 hours life. Daylight color temperature (6,000 K) Concertlight is not the old-fashioned fluorescent. The imagines of the eye, processed through the brain filled with old concepts, can many times be faulty. This is not a study done by school districts across the country. (who coordinated the study). Looking at the quality of the schools worldwide compared to ours and it�s students, what do you think about this lighting thing? Is lack of concentration due to light bulbs, the wonderful expertise of our modern schools that turn out young men and women that can�t read, write or spell even with incandescence, or what?

To sum the thing, my eyeballs don�t flicker because maybe they have been around for quite some time and are getting old. Not as much smog here as in California to irritate, my music rack and light is not attached to my keyboard or what do you think?
