Another source of flourescent tube lighting energy is a radio or
microwave transmitter. I know because I live 3 blocks away from the
Prudential Tower (in Boston). The Pru is one of these buildings that
in only surpassed by Russian "Fishing" trawlers for the number of
antennas on its roof. Every once in a while, (I suspect when they are
setting up a new antenna), I notice that my 4 ft. plant light glows
enough to navigate the room by. Now, if it were to light up brightly,
I would probably run to the kitchen to get the Reynolds-Wrap and
wrap myself with it... ;-)
