To be honest guys, this is a valid complaint.

A lot of malls use fluorescent lights that have been 'tuned' to emit certain high frequency noise. It is usually aimed at adolescent age ears (which can by nature hear a high frequency, this disappears as we age) to prevent loitering in the malls. My brother and I used to get insane migraines whenever my mom would take us to Sears at the mall. She thought we were just faking it till we found an article in a magazine about it.

So imagine the Navy orders premium..... errrr....... lowest bidder light bulbs, which just happen to have poorly made ballast that happen to emit this range of frequencies. Now look at your demographic for enlisted crew, post-pubescent males.


Just noticed there is only one complaint, but still, betcha many others have heard it and not complained.

Anyways, SSL lighting is more power effecient, and won't break as easily.
