[TowerTalk] Interference from Flourescent Lights?

[Herb Rosenberg]

I am planning on moving to a new QTH, and the ham shack will be located 
in a finished room built behind the garage of this house.  This room 
already has several overhead flourescent light fixtures, and they are 
all hanging in a suspended actoustical tile ceiling.  

Will these lights be a source of interference for my radios?  
The lighting in this room now is a little inadequate, and if they 
are not a source of interference, I would like to add a 
couple of additional fixtures.  But, I don't want to do this, if they are 
going to be a source of RFI.

If they are interference prone, is there anything that can be done to 
them to minimize or eliminate their interference?

I would appreciate any comments and suggestions, as I would like to have
as RFI free shack as possible. 

Thanks and 73's.
