If they don't, why not? Is there a reason? Have they fixed it somehow? I don't think it's my imagination that flourescents can yellow plastics.

Fluorescent light is just paller that sunlight.
However, physically, there is no difference between the light, coming from a source than that coming from another...save for the thermics they use when they irradiate (warm and cold light)....There are no report of specific discolorations caused by specific lights in plastics or enamel...the change of color must be a coincidence, and the real reason could be in the chemical composition of the discolored material..Not the light,,,,
Cheers ...

I do not think so. Plastics change from white to yellow due to weathering, UV from sun etc. I do not think the CFL (I think it is sodium vapour lamp ?) emits UV.

Well there is something wrong with there light spectrum. I am old and my skin is splotchy from too much sun and scar tissue. It gives my skin a odd pattern it is especially noticeable in there is no other light.
