Immediately everyone working there has got terrible headaches that
last about twenty four hours. The whole staff from managers down.

Anyone get any ideas about this.

Probably flicker - too fast to be noticeable.
Although I'm surprised it's effected everyone.

Yeah, bet that isn't anything physical.

Can't think of the word for it, groupthink isn't quite right.

Theer was a item on the TV a while ago where they
tested the taste of red wine under difernt lighting
conditions (they did the same with food).

They found that under red light people stated that the red wine tasted
better, when under red light the same happened with red meat

Another test showed that people drank more and for longer
under blue light, which was a suprise and most believed that
red light made you feel hottoer so would therefor make you
drink more, but what they fouhnd was that blue light kept
you awake longer giving you more time to drink. This was
done in a bar they hired out and on cetain nights they lit
the place with differnt colours.

Interesting. Must get one of those RGB leds and try that myself.
