UV Lighting

Postby brunetteoctober » Wed Oct 03, 2007 10:30 am

is anyone effected by the UV lights? ever since i got them, i have had massive headaches. not knowing if it really was the uv, i turned them off for a day, and no headache. has anyone else experienced this? i'm going to try it again, just to make sure, there have been other things the past couple days that could cause headaches. we'll see...

I have a similar experience when exposed to multiple florescent lights (for instance like going to a grocery store or Wal-Mart or a Mall). I get a headache and feel dizzy and like I'm gonna upchuck. :shock: Needless to say my husband does the grocery shopping. I can't say I have had the same effect from exposure to one bulb.

Thats called phasing, its like strobes, its to do with the way the electricity is produced and utilised

brunette , are you spending a lot of time close to the light and have you noticed a slight flicker from it?it could be the lamp or switch gear is not in good condition.
MMMmmmmm... Something???????

Ah ... hence the phrase "that doesn't phase me". Nice going Leigh. Thanks for the light mate. :wink:
