From: Rob Studdert
CFLs with integrated ballasts/electronics generally run at a higher
frequency then the mains so that's generally not a problem. And from
experience I would expect that cylindrical fluorescent tubes designed
for photo-lights would likely be designed to exhibit persistence that
negates the pulsing (as I haven't experienced it).
Our ABC TV is state funded and generally has the best gear that's
about, currently they run arrays of 2' tubes with LED as highlights
for 1:1 interviews, colour balance is excellent and integrates
perfectly with outside lighting.
The wide shots below were shot using AWB on the *ist D and the
portrait was shot using the K20D with a manual WB:

I've only got one real problem with the new fluorescent technology.
My next school assignment is to shoot someone at a computer - lit by
those horrible old green fluorescent lamps.
REQUIRED to shoot daylight chrome film and color balance the strobe to
match the fluorescent lamps with a green gel and correct the light with
a magenta filter over the lens. I have all the appropriate gels and filters.
But everybody's gone to the new technology and I can't find anyone still
using the old nasty green ones.
