ya, but in the three years total I have spent in europ, middle east and such, a lot lighting was halogen or incadesent. they also have been using electronic ballasts for there florescent way longer than us, so realy it isn't bad.

lots of peopel are sensitive to the 60 hrtz they just don't realize it. lot of headaches and ect from office enviorments and such.
