LED Incident Reports
October 20, 2024 – Harbor Springs, MI – None
I can’t drive in the morning or at night because of these blinding headlights. This is crazy, worse than drunk drivers. What happened to the Auto Safety industry or safety regulations? I am either going to have to lose work/get fired because of this or literally drive blind and pray I don’t die or kill someone else.

I thought I could get over it, because LED headlights are so unavoidable. I tried everything I could possibly do to cope. But lately it has evolved to suicidal thoughts, because I feel like I’ll never be able to live a normal life again. I was thinking maybe I have autism, maybe I should get that checked out, but I feel ridiculous. Do I really go tell a therapist that LED headlights make me want to kill myself? Is that what I have to do?

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.
