Harmfulness of blue light

Do Warm White LED Bulbs Emit Blue Light?

No!

Unlike cool white LEDs, warm fixtures are designed to mask blue light with high amounts of orange and yellow light.

That way you get way less – or even zero – blue light exposure while using an LED fixture.

What Does Blue Light Do to Your Brain?

As explained above:

Blue light suppresses the production of Melatonin; which in turn, leads to a low quality of sleep.

When you don’t sleep enough, brain functions such as memory and decision-making processes become affected.

And when that condition persists, a number of health problems often start to pop up.

Can Blue Light Cause Sleep Problems?

Of course Yes.

In Summary…

And that’s just about everything you need to know about LED Light Safety.

With all that in mind, the best answer to the question, “Is LED Light Safe?” would be:

Yes, it is very safe.

And that’s because the only demerit that LEDs have is that some of them emit blue light.

But, You should also consider the fact that you get exposed to blue light from other sources including sunlight, your smart phones/tablets, computers, TVs and so much more.

Therefore, the amount of exposure you get from LEDs is only a fraction of the total blue light exposure you get in a day.

However, Just because it’s small exposure, it doesn’t mean that it won’t affect your health in a way or two.

The only way to be completely safe is by limiting the amount of blue light exposure from LED light by:

l Spending a short time under LED lighting at night.

l Using warm white LED fixtures when you have to stay up late.

l Using blue light filters on your digital devices.

l Always take a break when you start to experience eye strain, headaches, or fatigue.

In doing so, you’ll be able to enjoy the full benefits of using LED light fixtures without compromising on your health.
