This is the most specious nonsense I have seen. Modern fluorescents don't flicker. If there is there's something wrong. The CFL's and the T-8 sized regular fluorescents use solid state ballasts, and they operate at such a high frequency that flicker is impossible except at end of life failure, which on a T-8 bulb can be a rather interesting light show... Color is even more of a specious argument. The CFL"s are generally color corrected. You can get a color temperature of your choosing. As for regular fluorescents, the old low color correction cool white ought to be outlawed. The low mercury regs for regular fluorescents also has an efficiency mandate and color correction. You can get a fluorescent lamp of many varied colors. I'll go into detail on this later, in a later post.
