LED lights are making us sick, blind & quietly wrecking our hormones.

It's time we switch back to Sunlight, Candles & Incandescent bulbs.

Yes, LEDs are super energy-efficient, upto 95% more efficient than incandescent bulbs but have you ever thought what exactly are we trading for those savings?

Is saving a few dollar off your electricity bill really worth messing with your circadian rhythm, your mood, your sleep & your hormones?

Blue light isn’t the villain when it comes from the sun because nature never gives it alone. It’s always wrapped inside a full spectrum of wavelengths that keep your body balanced.

In isolation from all the other colors, blue light damages our retinas & disrupts our endocrine systems, resulting in physical and mental problems.

Cool LED bulbs emit more blue light than warm LED bulbs because of the high color temperature

But the label “WARM” can be deceptive.

Warm LEDs give out a warmer “looking” light because the blue light is masked with a yellow or orange filter, but they DO NOT emit a RED wavelength.

When you’re shopping for bulbs,

Check the Color Rendering Index (CRI).

Sunlight is the gold standard with a CRI of 100

and so are incandescent bulbs & candles.

If you have to go with LED lights, choose ones with a CRI as close to 100 as possible.

Pay attention to flickering because many LEDs tend to have a high flicker rate.

Also, keep in mind those electromagnetic fields (nnEMF)

All LEDs emit high dirty electricity that rides along your wiring and leaks into your living space as invisible electrical noise.

Most people never think about it but your nervous system absolutely does.

This constant background stress chips away at your sleep quality, your recovery, your focus & your overall resilience.

And unlike the sun or a candle,

LEDs offer zero biological upside to counter the stress they introduce.

No INFRARED.

No Deep RED.

No warmth that feeds your Mitochondria.

Just raw, isolated blue packaged inside an electronic device that radiates electrical noise while flickering thousands of times per second.

We traded biological safety for efficiency & we’re paying for it with our health.

So the next time someone tells you LEDs are “THE FUTURE”

Remember this..

Nature already designed the perfect lighting system.

It rises every morning and sets every evening.

Everything else is an imitation that your body has to fight against.

Choose the light that supports you.

Your hormones, eyes, sleep, metabolism & mood depend on it.

Sun, Fire & Incandescent.

There is NO other alternative.

You save a few dollars a month in electricity by switching to LED bulbs, then they increase your fixed monthly service charge more than any LED saved

I reckon the savings aspect, and the bulbs longevity were a scam. As you said, electricity charges eliminated any ability to truly measure, and know whether the excessive up front cost to the bulbs would be recovered.

Phase out of incandescent light bulbs around the world

There's no way to get them at my continent. They were banned a fey years ago.

You can find them... They are just hidden

Look for rough service light bulbs at you local marine supplies store.

Until I come across some trustworthy randomised control trial study, suggesting that LED lights are indeed bad for sleep, I don't buy it.

Been surrounded by those lamps for years .. sleep just fine.

I'm damn sure that exposure to VOC chemicals emissions from us being literally surrounded by plastics for hours in a day .. as well as breathing in and ingesting micro/nano plastics ALL the time .. is a health problem that's so much larger than LED light.

Putting both adverse effects on one chart, the damage from LED light would be hardly noticeable, I'd think.
