Hi Matt,
The problem is that fluorescent lamps don't have a continuous spectrum of
colors of light as a hot filament lamp does. This probably would not be a
problem if you are using single contrast-grade B&W enlarging paper, since it
would only affect the time required to print. If using multi-contrast
paper, it might cause some trouble because of the fact that the color of the
light must be changed to get the different contrasts.
