Is it OK to put fluorescent lights at right
angles to each other? I have in the back of
my mind, from years ago, that there were
some problems associated with this?

Many thanks,
Roy

Depends if you are planning to wear a white gown and hood.

In my (well, Gromit's) vet's waiting room there are two lamps like
that, and seem to be ok after lotsa years.

Sort of 'Cross lighting' rather than cross dressing, you mean?

There's a church at The Oval in South London where they have a cross made
out of two fluorescents and given that it looks difficult to get at to
service probably means not.

Could be that it was an issue with older tubes that contained significantly more mercury than modern
ones, so this may be the origin of your memories of problems.

If it does, then not by much. I've got a pair either side of a mirror and
they've lasted forever. Just as well as they're now an obsolete size.
