“With the introduction of LEDs as primary artificial lighting, matters got worse. LEDs cause an instantaneous adverse effect at any level of exposure. I cannot be exposed to LEDs for any period of time. I experience dizziness, eye pain, head pain and other visual disturbances including, eyes strain and blurred vision. I am unable to think, walk, or talk, and I experience numbness. I was told by my primary physician that LEDs are causing neurogenic seizures.“

The primary problem with LEDs is the unregulated density of the light. This is called ‘luminance’. Because LEDs emit a directed beam of energy, the light does not disperse gently over distance, so even from far away, you are getting hit with extremely intense light. The second problem is the non-uniformity of the light, which is exceedingly dense in the middle of the beam, but near zero at the edges. The third problem is the color temperature. The fourth problem is the square wave flicker. Each individual reacts differently to the different characteristics. There are little or no government regulations for any of this.
