  • Do CFL light bulbs cause interference when recording?

I remember before LCD/LED monitors having to turn off my CRT monitors and flourescent lights when recording to avoid their buzz, but do the new CFL's (compact flourescent lights) have the same effect?  I've been converted and now love these things so I don't even have any other type of light anymore.  These are at least as bright, stay cool and use far less energy (plus they are now inexpensive to buy thanks to LED lightbulbs being the "new" thing).
 
Just curious if anyone knows - I haven't had to record with them yet.

What would an actual digital audio engineer have to say about it?
 
Too bad there are none left here these days.

Try in the X2 forum.  I hear that some folks have heard that Real Audio Engineers sometimes show up there.

Of course, I heard that Chicken, Corn and Fish are the same thing.  It's a trichotomy.
