I believe that some fluorescent tubes MAY cause a problem...but not all do. I stood in the outside room with the lights off so my eyes were adjusted to the darkness, then I shut the lights off in the room in question (switch is on the outside), and opened the door and there was no noticeable light from the overheads.
