If there is enough rf energy to do this then something is very
wrong indeed I'd suggest!

Fluorescent tubes may light up if held in the vertical position under
HV power lines.
Video of it here. (Not much help to you I know).

I can confirm that from personal experience, although I don't know what
the voltage was. All you had to do was stand under the power lines
holding one end of a tube, and it would glow. I let somebody else do it
first, before trying it myself!
