I have  heard that the problem  wiuth stiplights is :-

1. Modern ones have bare tubes with  grid - like baffles
and 

2. the abscence of a plastic filter  allows the transmission of UV rays 
blocked by the plastic  filters of old .  Not helped by the more powerful 
tubes  !

The above is being liked to skin cancer - on the basis of  cumalitive 
exposure of office workers. 

IMO proper industrial , as in non - flourescent lights , low - energy 
lightbulbs or just some 200w household bulbs  ....

my 2p worth ....
