Anyone els have a problem with eye strain?  A few weeks ago, a light went out
in my office, which, btw, is a 10x10 former closet with *8* flourescent
lights in the office.

Maintenance came and fixed the light, and another that was out, and suddenly
I couldn't stand to be in here.  Flicker was *everywhere*, and after a couple
of hours, I was at risk for vertigo or a headache.

Well, they turned out 4 of the lights, and now it's too dim, and I still
detect the flicker.  Does anyone know ways of measuring light levels and
making an objective assessment of a situation?
