Why does a work light with compact fluorescent bulb, emit less light in a high constant magnetic field?
Post Body

Considering my respect/fear for the equipment (7T magnet) I'm reluctant to experiment, trying different types of bulbs and whatnot -- the setup right now is safe and effective.

It's one of these bulbs in a fixture like this.

Occasionally, this thing gets a bit too close to bore of the magnet: There's negligible attraction to the magnet, (even at this high field, which is why we use that setup), but I notice that the fluorescent bulb emits less light. A little closer, and there's little-to-no light.

.

Why does this happen?
