There have been double-blind tests performed, but the subjects were quite upset when they learned that apparently it wasn't the wifi signals making them sick, but the blinking lights on the wireless devices.
IE lights disabled, radios fully enabled, on highest power, transmitting data: No symptoms. Simulated status light activity, radios completely disabled and unpowered: symptoms. Lights & radio on : symptoms Lights & radio disabled: no symptoms.
Conclusion: Clearly we need to investigate the status l
Maybe they it they are just sensitive to radiation in the visible spectrum. The obvious answer is to stick them in pitch dark rooms to help them learn.
I'm sensitive to visible radiation - specifically, I'm in the top x% that's sensitive to flickering. For example, I could spot a CRT monitor set to a 60hz refresh rate from across the room. I can spot weak fluorescent ballasts. The effect is not subtle to me.
But even then, bump it from 60hz to 70-75, and I'm fine.
The wireless router, I'd point out that it's the lights annoying me.
Heck - that could be another test. Get away from 'RFI' sufferers. Just test 'comfort levels' in some rooms where the only di
You're lucky that the lamp works. I can be in a room 'full' of ballasts, and point right at the 'weak' one, and the flicker from it is enough to annoy me.
As the building custodian though, I was able to get them replaced.
You had mail, but the super-user read it, and deleted it!
