Susan please don't think I was being critical, online shopping isn't the problem, it's the large chain stores that are closing our LQS, the likes of Joanne's and here its Spotlight. Shopping online is still from a quilt store, mostly. I'm sorry the lights give you such trouble, I have a friend with the same problem, even I have trouble with them when they decide to flicker and I don't have epilepsy, flouros are nasty things. I also have problems with the super high pitch whistle that some of them emit.
