No, do they make you feel very tired quickly.

I'm under old-school fluorescent lighting all day. Is it killing me? I've been real tired lately for no reason

 

[Steadfastly]

My wife hates them. I think the new daylight bulbs are much better than the old ones. I had a friend to who a brain tumour and he said they bothered him. I think they bother some people more than others. I don't think they ever affected me that I know of.

They give me migraines. I refuse to be in an environment where they are used.

I also have extreme light sensitivity in my eyes, so that doesn't help.

I wouldn't say they drain my energy, but brighter lights irritate me.
we've got dimmers all around our house.

I have complete achromatopsia, so I have no ability filter light of any kind. I wear red contacts and sunglasses over top, but it's now at a point wear the contacts do nothing.

I'm kind of in trouble.

AFAIK, many LCD / computer screens use fluorescent backlights. Or at least they used to.

I set the resolution quite low, and reduce the brightness.

You have made me curious now. With different lighting systems on the market now, fluorescents are not as popular as they once were. How do you get around them at work, shopping, etc?

That might explain it... I use Toshiba laptops... at home, every light has been changed to Led...

I've seen migraine lenses that you slip onto normal glasses that are supposed to help. I'm assuming you can get them as normal glasses as well.
