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:

HID lighting has been damaging eyes for decades, and I'm sure CMH and other lamps have enough blue to have the same effect. Everyone, even flouro users (since you're usually VERY close to the lights), should be using eye protection in the grow room, or 'working' lights to turn on when the grow lights are off.

Looking at lights, especially close up, is damaging. LEDs are simply more intense.
