LED lighting impairs human visual performance




The LED light thing is serious, although this is going around on social media about the damage to health of LED lights, it is real, although not as big as some want to make it out to be, nor is it a real conspiracy behind it, but I think some want to link it to a real story of conspiracy, because, when talking about light bulbs, people may be familiar with the story of the famous conspiracy of the limited life light bulbs of the Phoebus cartel, which was a real cartel, an industrial cartel, a Industrial cartel is a secret agreement between several competing companies in the same sector to control the market and increase their profits instead of competing freely among themselves.


This Phoebus cartel existed between 1924 and 1939 and was made up of the large manufacturers of electronic equipment of that time, Osram, Philisp, General Electrics and a few others, they met in Geneva and agreed to purposely reduce the life of the light bulbs, which at that time lasted on average about 2,500 hours and decided to reduce their useful life to about 1000 hours, they did so to sell more light bulbs and raise prices, the cartel It was dissolved with the Second World War, but surprise, the 1000 hour standard was maintained and some were investigated, but none were sanctioned. In fact, the sanctioned companies were those that received sanctions from members of the same cartel, who applied sanctions to companies that failed to comply with the agreement and made light bulbs that lasted longer. Real conspiracies exist, but usually to make money and care, there are also fake conspiracies to cover up real conspiracies.



What we have now is a real investigation, this would be a long-term damage to our health, but it is a damage that can be solved by going for a walk and receiving normal sunlight. The curious thing about this story is that traditional lights, traditional lights, are healthier than LED lights. This is what this study demonstrates. They simply reduce, erode your health, more or less is what this research says.


The two researchers affirm that it is solved by going out and receiving sunlight, walking, if you have to work for many hours with the computer, that screens also have their problems, if you have to work for many hours with the computer, place your computer near a window so that it also receives sunlight and can also look at distant points on the horizon through the window in order to relax your eyes, which is very, very good for that.


Perfect things do not exist, everything always has some consequence, especially with technologies, lights, traditional light bulbs use a lot of energy and also produce a lot of heat and LED lights use less energy, which saves you, but they are not very good for your health, the others are better, so there has to be a balance. What does this research say? comes to alert companies of this problem and that they have to seek to investigate to solve it in some way and end up creating a perfect light bulb that has the best of both worlds, of the world of old light bulbs and the world of LED light bulbs, that is, they can save energy and are also not harmful to health.
