For me it's the damn flicker.  I can "see" 60hz, at least
peripherally, and (to quote "Joe vs the Volcano"), they give me a
brain-cloud.  I am lucky in that I have either worked from home where
I can control it, or have been in an office friendly to me unscrewing
the bulbs above me for the last few years, so I have incandescent
where I am able.

I use f.lux on my windows machines to gradually red-shift my monitor
color at night which helps me a lot, too.  (And redshift on linux.)
