From a reader:

As long as were talking about this ridiculous ban on lightbulbs, I’ll throw in my complaint. I have a son with autism and many with autism can perceive the 60 Hz flicker in fluorescent lights and are very uncomfortable with it. If it stands, we are going to stock up as many contraband bulbs as we can comfortably store and hope the idiocy is reversed before we run out.

Another:

The real problem with the florescent bulbs is that florescent light makes some people ill. (Myself included.) This can range from being a trigger for migraines to aggravating auto-immune conditions.
So not only is the federal government overstepping its legitimate authority in trying to mandate what sort of light sources we can use (which always upsets me), now they are trying to literally make me sick.
And then there is the whole mercury disposal issue…

Several others recommend avoiding the “Sunlight” bulbs, which are described as being especially blue-colored and aggravating. Try the “soft white” kind, they say.
