Infrared spectra of 13 low-luminosity young stellar objects (YSOs) indicate that a majority have excess hydrogen line emission. This is in contradiction to a simple model of excess recombination line emission due to ionization from the first excited level of hydrogen. Thermal neutral atomic emission models do not violate energy conservation but require a few percent of the total luminosity utilized in heating an extended emission region. Whether there is a similar line excess emission mechanism for low- and high-luminosity YSOs is still open to question.
