I knew that the elektromagnetic fields produced by these bulbs can be up too 200 times as intense in energy than those of regular lightbulbs of same brightness (that'S why you shoulds keep your distance to them), but that it also is a different quality of electromagnetic field, was new to me.

The headache thing is known since longer, although for political and business reasons it still is officially denied.

MS, asthma and blood sugar also was knew for me, I mean that it can have so immense effects.

Don'T like these things too muich, I still find their loight colour annoying. Their warm-white simply is not warm-white with a sufficient degree of waves transporting the colour red, but it makes colours shifting towards the green and spectrum. I have two such things in use, but only in the cellar and in a corridor.

The future is LED, and LEDs in spots replacing halogen spots with reflectors are already really usable, the good ones have a warmwhite light like you know it from Halogen light, and are of comparable brightness. These ones also do not distort the colopur spectrum as massively as energy saving bulbs do (turning red into brown and yellow into green, even the wellknown, expensive brands). Problem is they are extremely expensive, still. LED-collections in normal lightbulbs still are not really convincing: not bright enough. But its getting better. LEDs in torchlights: beats every normal lightbulbed torchlight. General rule: you do not need a dozen LEDs, you only need one LED - but that must be a real good one, then it is good light colour (not that terrible cold blue-white), and shining brightness.

Light quality is life quality, and very important to me in order to feel comfortable and "at home". I do not accept compromises in light, at least not in my living room and kitchen. If halogen would not be available anymore and standard lightbulbs also gone, I would cry and spend the money needed for good LEDs - but no energy efficient bulbs.
