How do LEDs affect our health?

This question is complex:

• it has been proven that LEDs with a lot of blue causes damage to the macula, the center part of the retina of the eye
• research confirms that too much blue light causes sleep disturbances
• studies report with certainty that the more lights flickers, the greater the damage to the eye
• proof positive: the longer and more directly eyes are touched by LEDs, the more extensive the damage
• it is highly possible that LEDs have contributed the heightened number of near sighted children in recent years
• however, LEDs are constantly improving, particularly in areas like headlight glare and flickering household lights

Up to this point, the topic has been visible light. Since light also has invisible effects, such as reactions observable on our skin, this topic raises a greater health question.

And then, there is question of the effects of LEDs on our vital life forces. Several studies are now available on this topic. See Research.
