[ale] OT: Office lighting

[Jim Philips]

This goes back to my earlier post about color temperature. Since I used to 
dabble in photography, I'm really aware of the color temperature of lighting. 
Aside from the fluorescent flicker, there is the sickly green color. It has a 
subtle, but noticeable, psychological effect on people. Most of us here, have 
worked in the "veal fattening pens" known as "cubes". Who wouldn't rather 
have a cube next to the window as opposed to sitting under lights that remind 
you of some kind of institution? This is the reason I always avoid 
fluorescents.
