LED Incident Reports
November 13, 2024 – Boynton Beach, FL – Epilepsy
My 3 seizures occurs in grocery stores- Publix and Aldi within a 1 year. I notice, that aura is comes as soon as I walk in the store. I never go there without my good sunglasses (Oakley’s works the best so far) on. I change all LED light bulbs in my house to old style light bulbs and fill great. Never had an episode at home since. I drive at night with my sunglasses on, because cars light triggers my seizures as well. LED is epileptics enemy! I have few friends with epilepsy, who experience the same reactions from exposure to LED lights.
November 13, 2024 – Charlotte, NC – Astigmatism
I am writing to express a safety concern regarding the LED headlights on newer vehicles in the Charlotte area, particularly at night. I have found that the bright LED lights from oncoming traffic are significantly blinding and make it difficult for me to see the road clearly. This has become especially problematic for me now that I’m driving after dark, as I get off work when it’s already dark outside.
On multiple occasions, I have almost been involved in accidents because I am unable to properly see the road or other vehicles due to the intensity of the headlights. The glare from these lights severely impairs my vision, and I am now feeling anxious and scared to drive at night because of this issue.
I wanted to bring this to your attention, as it is becoming a significant safety concern for me and I believe it may be impacting others in the community as well.
Something seriously has to be done with these vehicles with that style of lights. SOON!

The US Department of Energy describes LEDs as radically new technology with a directional light and unique characteristics. It is these features that make LED light so harmful. Traditional light sources radiate the light outward. LEDs focus the light into a beam. Because LEDs emit a directional beam of focused light, the light does not disperse gently over distance, so even from far away, LED light is extremely intense. LED light is exceedingly dense in the middle of the beam, but the density is near zero at the edges. The unique characteristics of LED light include the directional beam, non-uniform spatial distribution, unnatural spectral power distribution, square wave flicker, and digital flashing. Each individual and creature reacts differently to the different characteristics. There are little or no government regulations for any of this.
