Subject: Fluorescent lights and Color perception

Hi:

A physics prof has asked me if there is a body
of literature on changes in color blindess tests
such as the Farnsworth if taken under fluorescent
lights as compared to incandescents or other
lighting sources.

He was also interested in some literature that
suggests people performed differently on reading
tests under different light sources. This claim seems
to come from the literature relating corrections
in dyslexia to various filters. I know current
reviews make these claims shaky at the least but
wonder if anybody knows a good reference for my
first question.

Thanks so much,

bye
