It is definetly the light causeing it as when I switch off the light the monitor runs fine. The flicker on the screen although small is driveing me up the wall. Anyone have any suggestions or experience with this. How can I stop the interference caused???

Try to move the powercable of the light in different directions to see if the cable causes the flicker. Maybe movin the transformator of the flurescent light could help, too, if there is one.

Does it help if you use a different wall-socket for the lamp? Maybe in this case a ac-filter would help, the fluorescent light could 'cause some noise that your monitor might be sensitive to.
