Abstract
Conventional fluorescent lighting pulsates rapidly in brightness. Although it is not usually visible as flicker, the high-frequency pulsation is resolved by the visual system and can give rise to an unnatural pattern of nervous excitation. The pulsation appears to have little consequence for vision or eye movements, but is responsible for a large proportion of the eyestrain and headaches suffered by office workers.
