Are you claiming it’s radiation outside of the visible light spectrum? What sort of radiation exactly?
Discussion
no, just that they're different than incandescent, and harder on the eyes. although bulbs that have bluetooth stuff in them, like the phillips HUE, do indeed output 2.4ghz radiation, which is invisible. I did not make the video I linked above.

(this is interesting, and has a lot of history and tech details about lighting.)
this is not as interesting.
They’re not harmful. Cordless phones also emit 2.4 ghz radiation and they’ve been around for like what? 2 or 3 decades?
depends on exposure amounts, output power envelope, frequency, etc.
2.4ghz is the same roughly that the microwave oven uses.
5ghz+ will penetrate less into the skin and cranial tissue, but still has an affect on red blood cells, blood vessels, and so on.
2.4ghz will basically dehydrate you.
You've never gotten a leg cramp from having a phone in your pocket all day ?
Cordless phones used 400-900mhz, until the mid 90s.
Ok well it’s been 30 years since then, and ppl aren’t going blind or getting dehydrated from talking on their cordless phones. I think you’re being a bit schizo tbh.
But no, I carry a phone every day and I don’t get leg cramps from it.
I'm mitigating personal risk, and noticing I enjoy life a lot more without all that stuff. Nothing "schizophrenic" about it.
That's a very misused word, among people 15-30, these days, for some reason. It slights actual people with the situation, I think.
It’s not meant literally, but I think you know that. If your reasoning is to detach from computers and the internet, I think that’s fine. But if you think ppl are losing their sight or becoming dehydrated, or whatever from it, then that’s a bit schizo.
my reasoning is to make my life more enjoyable. I've always been electromagnetically sensitive. When the iPhone came out, I could feel the data in my wrist. That's a really uncomfortable sensation, if you've never felt it before.
As a small kid, If you turned a TV on in a room, even if it was on the other floor of the house, I could hear the high pitched wine of the flyback transformer. Even with the TV muted entirely, or volume at 0.
I don’t believe electromagnetic sensitivity is real. I’m p sure I’ve read studies that subjected ppl to it and they couldn’t tell one way or the other.
I dunno, there are some people who really seem to be sensitive to a lot of stuff.
I definitely know what Ringo is talking about with the high-pitched whine of CRT screens turning on...That was annoying. Kind of felt like a little static shock in my ears.
That’s a sound, that’s not electromagnetic radiation.
If you talk to any old ham radio operator, they'll tell you about "RF burn" or "RF in the shack," where improperly grounded equipment or being too close to antennas during transmission can cause burns.
Granted, that's at a way higher power output than most consumer devices (a hundred watts or so at a lower frequency versus 100 milliwatts max for phones and most access points).
I don't actually know anyone personally who can prove that they're sensitive to 2.4GHz, but the body is susceptible to RF and microwave radiation at some level.
It is, but it’s the difference between using a furnace to heat your home and lighting yourself on fire.
I've been this way my whole life, even before I knew what it was. It's real.
You think it’s real. Some people also sincerely believe they’re being gangstalked.
some of the people that think they're being gangstalked actually are. That's a whole different topic. I'm not one of them, though. Fortunately.
What makes something real? Empirical evidence? Belief? Subjective evidence? It is different for every person.
Digging some college Chemistry out of the back of my brain.. 2.4 GHz is the resonant frequency of the water molecule, meaning 100% of the energy is absorbed and converted to heat.
Put anything containing water into a microwave, and it heats up. Put anything without water, like paper, in a microwave, and nothing happens.
Other molecules have their own resonant frequencies. I remember reading an article about a pharma company using radio waves around 200 MHz to interfere with brain cancer growth. That 200 MHz frequency was just right to heat up some protien the cancer needed and prevent it from participating in the next reaction.
The vast majority of radio waves seem harmless, and too weak to cause much heating, but that makes you wonder.
I don’t think there’s much to wonder about. Almost everyone is surrounded by microwave radiation every single day, ppl aren’t going blind from it.
ding ding ding. Yes. That's why The GE Range Oven, and other stuff like that which eventually became the magnetron, operate at roughly 2.4ghz.
They convert water molecules into heat.
Now it gets weirder when you factor in that vaccinated people are also radio receptive to the graphene oxide, in the shots.
Or so to say, "The plot, thickens."
That's cool about that study.
A few years ago, I almost built a modified rife type machine with a plasma tube, and was going to hook it up to a signal generator.
Wifi also works at 2.4ghz.
I haven't used wifi for years.
The falloff rate of the power envelope is very localized to the receiving device. IE, the phone or laptop draws and attenuates the signal strength TO the device.
I'm way happier using ethernet anyway, it's much faster. Never liked wireless. Tried to get into it for years, but never found it reliable for moving large files around, and so on.
red and infrared light amongst other things (in the white LEDs).
