In a recent thread about an optical tachometer it was rightly mentioned that fluorescent (strip) lighting might cause a problem with the calibration. It is also worth a reminder that fluorescent lighting on its own is perhaps not a good idea in the workshop as it can present a danger and/or discomfort when using machinery owing to the strobe effect.
This is usually only a problem with the older type of lighting that operates at lower frequencies; those with electronic ballasts operate at a higher frequency as do the newer energy efficient lamps that use fluorescent technology.
The answer in any event is to have an adjustable bench light for each machine in addition to the overall workshop lighting.
