LED's can damage your brain and make you old...

[prune]

So I thought I was doing a good thing when I updated from DE to LED, you know, saving my retina's or something. Then I spy this article:

Well, off to buy some amber glasses, at least...

Listen. Mate. Eventually everything damages your brain and makes you old. You'll see. In the wash-up lights are nothing!

Oh, come on. It was a study on fruit flies published in a second rate journal. They do studies like this to get more money to do more studies. Thus, the press release.

Be skeptical, my friend!

LED can do and has done damage to retinas, some folks may
be less prone to the effect, but as with any high watt light output
you want to protect your eyes.

Stop looking into the lights. It's bad for your eyes.

I wear polarized sunglasses near bright lights and avoid looking at the bulbs.

The OP just damaged my brain with his non logic. Thanks a lot and enjoy your useless glasses.

I see that the flatearthers are offended, again, by simple science...

 

[Koondense]

Start making some sense before you use the word science in a sentence.
The link you provided is science, your conclusion is not.


Cheers

Well THAT escalated quickly...maybe you should take a tip from Egoset and just *start off* blasting; that way you’re pre-flounced, no matter what the reaction

The first time i turned on my 2x lens LED fixture... I saw green for like 10 minutes... The white walls in the house looked fully green tinted like I had green glasses on.... Everything had a green tint...
Stay safe either way.... Wear some shades in the grow room is a given

i like watching a new MH bulb light up for the 1st time.
is a cool little light show.

His hands are small, like really small.

Also kinda see a Hitl*r moustache trick of the light.

He would approve of that, no doubt.

Useless?
Ive read many times that strong LEDs can mess up your circadian rithm...not talking just about growlights but even the overkill house bulbs (there are some peeps that ignorantly shine a 40w led in their living room cause is "cheaper" compared to the old bulb so they overdo)...

Aside from led even the blue light of some fluoros I thinks is not that good for you...Have you even sit in a airport for half day or in a hospital?Those light sucks...

I avoid to spend too much time in the grow room at night cause I noticed that after that I need more time to get back to the sleep mode...I try to concentrate all the actions during the day..

Im not a scientist and I'm not looking to live forever but I use snow glasses in the grow room and I raccomend anyone to do it...always.

Or maybe not, maybe LED light are good for you but why argue on just a pair of sunglasses?
I like the fancy ones ha!
