Florescent lighting

Sorry if this is a little off topic...but I am not sure where to post this.

We are moving into a new house, and the new music room has tube florescent lights. In the past I have gotten interference with my equipment (esp. tube amps) from florescent lights. Does anyone know whether compact florescents or LEDs cause interference?

Thanks for any advice,

I switched to CFL's and I personally have no issue with interference.

My music room has fluorescent tube lights, and all of the equipment listed below lives quite happily with them.

(The Hammond has a tube preamp, each Leslie has a tube amp and the Vox amp has a token tube in it.)

Maybe some types of fluorescent fixtures or tubes are less prone to cause interference.
