Replace old lights with LEDs

[Kevin D Pem]

Regarding LED and eye damage, here is an interesting discussion on blue light and its effects on eyes

LED Lights Can Harm Your Eyes

LED lights are in our homes, cities & the screens we stare at for hours every day. How harmful are they & what can we do to protect our eyes?

I focus on the mention of pulsating causing problems, the blue light is simply the icing on the cake. The built in voltage regulator in 12v lights creates a pulse, as well as dimmer circuits. But it goes one step further! WiFi And cell phones radio waves do the same pulsating.
Thanks Joe for your article.

I changed out all the incandescent bulbs in our T/T for less than $15. There are 12 I think.
This was about 4 years ago and not a single one has failed.
The power they draw is miniscule compared to the old bulbs. I accidently left the light in the bathroom on for about 3 weeks before I saw it and there was virtually no drain on the batteries.
As far as the the pulsing and wi-fi and cell phone radio waves I guess you could just start wearing a foil hat.

I sent this pic to a potential buyer complaining about the power lines being too close to the house I was selling.

Good info, I bought a couple of bulbs that worked in my fixtures and in general we hate them. They are to bright. Thus the need to get reduced Kelvin bulbs. By the same token, I hate the normal bulbs as well because they are to dim. One of the "new" led bulbs has already failed.

I guess I should have mentioned that I’ve only used the cheap LED conversion lights in exterior and basement fixtures. So I want bright, obnoxious lighting in these cases. I use OE LED stuff in all the interior fixtures.
