- Oh. It would be interesting to know just where the inspiration came from for that !
One thing, for sure, most lyme patients would NEVER be able to look at that whether it would be on or off ! I'd be on the floor in an instant.
Maybe that should be used as a vestibular test, eh? It does look as violent as borrelia is, though. A funny find. Bet you are looking for light fixtures.
In case this matters, a couple weeks ago, the last factory in the U.S. that made incandescent bulbs closed. ALL bulbs made now are low-energy. And I can't even be in the same room as one of those or a seizure hits. Sigh ! I'll have to scout out all the regular light bulbs and stock up, I guess. -

Yes, I wondered where the inspiration came from as well. I saw an image of a ball of borrelia that looked very similar.
Is it the color of the borrelia fixture that would cause seizures or something else? I didnt' know the new bulbs would cause seizures in some people. How awful. What causes then to do that?
I knew there was a change in bulbs but didn't pay much attention so thanks for reminding me. All I remember about it is that the new bulbs have mercury in them!!! So stupid!!
Our kitchen light went out so I wanted to find something similar since fixing it would cost more than $50. We use full spectrum lights (fluorecent) there now. They also have mercury in them and need to be re-cycled at a special facility. I'll need to figure out if the new bulbs will make make a difference in what I should buy. Very helpful as usual Keebler. Thanks!
I hope you can find some way around having seizures with the new bulbs.

- Terry,
Just looking at the photo is very hard on my eyes. It's the contrast and the wiggled shaped, too, as it's very disorienting. The grouping is also overwhelming - my eyes don't know where to land, so to speak.
I cannot even imagine this light in "person" or turned on. Now, if the glass were frosted, that would make it a bit less harsh - so if you are sensitive - shaded or (maybe) frosted lights are good. "Naked bulbs" and shiny objects can be irritating to the eyes and the brain nerves. -
