Study shows that LED lighting directly correlates to low T.

Put them in my machine shop a few years ago, best lighting ever.

But my love life has gone to h_ll.

I didn't know about that low T thing.

you have to keep track of the CRF when you select bulbs... just like the previous technologies, one size does not fit all...

The Black Diamond LED headlamp I purchased in 2005 & have used quite a bit for the last 13 years, suddenly only has the central LED bulb working. The two low-intensity bulbs on the side suddenly went "tits-up" this fall & now I noticed the case has cracked too.

What's up with that?

Damned worthless LED's. Only 13 years to failure!

Blue light in the nano range above shown by the blue spikes is rapidly becoming one of the foremost health problems brought to you courtesy of human ignorance in the form of modern light technology.

When blue light is part of the solar spectrum it is biologically necessary but In spiked form, especially after the sun goes down, it causes retinal damage, circadian dysfunction, destroys melatonin and dopamine in the eye and disrupts nightly autophagic programs.

Not just in the eye but blue light causes the same effects via your skin because now we now know the skin contains melanopsin receptors which "see" light frequencies.

Wear blue blocker glasses and reduce your time around artificial lighting, screens, etc.especially when the sun isn't around.

Geez Louise .

If you've never heard the term "blue light toxic" then you have a bit of research ahead of you.

reilly, are 3 short sentences too much for you to follow?


As far as LEDs,
they are not all the same, some are much more harsh than others.
Compare specs for Color temperature and CFI >90
You can often compare them in the store.

a few possibilities

Well, no wonder I can't see anymore & my skin is falling off & I can't sleep.

But I have not changed a bulb in the shop yet.

Sure do miss changing bulbs at in opportune times.

Of course, I realize that was many of the poster’s here only household contribution, so I definitely understand all the buthurt.

Dayum, a bit of distance makes Russ's trolling look so powerful. Even funnier now. Russ is clearly a master at it. I'd forgotten that I'd posted on this thread twice.

2011 I noted:
"Drink the Koolaid Russ. LOL. BTW, when LEDs come down in price (and they will get cheaper and better) they will be a game changer for our country, the environment and the whole world. Till then, stock up ...."

LED's have indeed come down in price. A while back replaced all the florescent ballasts and florescent lights in a small-medium sized warehouse and office. Every damn one, with new LED's. Significantly cheaper. The payout is 6 months. No more long skinny tubes filled with Mercury.

I just filled my house with 3000k led lighting, all on dimmers. I like it alot.

The cool white look is indeed a mind sucking insanity - but around 3000K in color temperature - it's pretty nice, IMO - especially on a dimmer.

I have LED headlamps on hooks at the entrance of every room in the house. I don't even use lightbulbs anymore.
