  Actually there is a large chunk of UV in flourescent bulbs. It depends on what bulbs you are using, how many watts and how far they are from the emulsion...and how thick that emulsion is. This is especially so with pure photopolymer emulsions like QTX. Its very noticable with thin coatings of emulsion like graphic printers use. You have to be careful. Not every printer reading these columns just prints garments/shirts.
If you are using cool white lamps or some of the warmer rosier looking bulbs you will probably have little issues.

Not saying you can't get away with it. Just don't want people to get the idea that it sactually light safe to store emulsion under regular flourescent lamps.
