Are LED lights safe?

Study claims that the lights are toxic to the eyes and body, causing cancer, and may not even save energy

RESEARCH from lightaware.org has suggested that LED lights - whether for indoors in private and public buildings, street lights, torch lights and vehicle headlights are not safe.

The study claims that the lights are toxic to the eyes and body, causing cancer, and may not even save energy.

And motorists constantly viewing the LED headlights of oncoming traffic will suffer damaged eyesight, it is suggested.

The best strategy is to keep existing indoor lights and do not change them to LED. If LED indoor lights have to be used, opt for those that burn at 2700k or less, as these are less damaging to health.

Outside, any LED light burning at above 3000k kills pollinators, such as moths.

There are available safe light bulbs made by Biolight. These light bulbs provide full-spectrum white light similar to that from natural light.

Don't change light bulbs for the reason of saving electricity or production of carbon dioxide because of climate change. There is much evidence disproving this. In fact, there is fraud and deceit in every aspect of society.
