Why is it that blue Christmas lights make me feel as though I'm seeing double? It's only the really blue ones that have this effect. -- Elly - A Pixie doing a PhD ZX9R-E1 - <Giggles> Spike - FZ400 - It's dead Jim!

Blue leds do the same to me. If I'm around them long enough I'm pretty much guaranteed a migraine. Must be something to do with the frequency of light or summat.
heh, it's not that bad. Worse in Birmingham. That said, my brother has just bought a 1995 VW Corrado in white. I'm tempted to fit some windscreen-washer jet leds when he's not looking.

I find that when I'm at gigs. When the stage lights are mainly blue, everything goes really blurry. Of course, it could be the drink not helping, but I'll stick with the blue light theory for now.
I thought that my next door neighbour had put two trees up in his garden, so its not just you. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19

It might be 'cos transparent materials (such as the lens in the eye) exhibit different refracitve indices depending on the colour of the light. The result is that something at a particular distance that you are able to bring into focus when it is a source of one colour of light may be out of focus for another colour. I think that the effect is quite marked. Is there not an optician around here somewhere? Just think of it as a preview.
Yes, it's the chromatic aberration (the effect that causes a prism to split white light into a spectrum of colours). I find it most annoying on police cars that have flashing red _and_ blue lights, which are at the opposite ends of the visible spectrum. I can focus on the blue, but then the red is out of focus, and vice-versa. -- Ivan Reid, School of Engineering & Design, _____________ CMS Collaboration, Brunel University.

I have a problem with advertising signs which have either blue writing on an orange background, or vice-versa. IOW, I can't read a fucking word that's written. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
