These all address LED lights vs. Incandescent lighting. They all want incandescent lights returned for home use, in schools, in public places and in Headlights/ Tail lights.
I second this! We spent a fortune on buying safe lighting for our home. The majority of us are sensitive to LED, but even to those who don’t notice a problem LEDs are still harmful.
I wrote one of these proposals, I’d prefer to keep them separate because it shows that a lot of people care about this topic enough to propose a change. But I do understand the need for a better search function.
Wouldn’t it be great if manufacturers made warm white LED’s that mimicked sunlight like expensive inefficient incandescent lights do? Oh wait that’s right…they do!
I strongly disagree with banning LEDs, except in certain circumstances, such as automobile headlights where they are a massive safety issue. However I strongly AGREE with removing the ban on incandescent lights. All types of lighting play a role and need to be available.
I have an electrosmog meter and have tested fluorescent lights, LED lights and incandescent lights. Incandescent have the smallest EMF imprint. LED lights vary DRAMATICALLY in terms of how much electrosmog they are putting out. It appears to depend upon the design and manufacture of that particular light. I have 4 different UFO lights by 4 different manufacturers, and some put out an EMF field measurable from 18" away and others, more like 7 feet! Fluourescents have a larger field than LED’s but also vary dramatically in terms of health effects depending upon the quality of the ballast design. Some fluorescents and LED lights ‘flicker’ and some don’t.
For this reason, I support ALL types of lighting remaining legal and available. Sensitive individuals should purchase their own electrosmog meter for their own protection. Cell phone cameras will register ‘flicker’ so try to photograph or videotape the lighting source when it is on to determine if your new lighting has ‘flicker’
I agree with the merge, with the stipulation that we do not ban LEDs. Allow them both, let the individual decide which one they want.
I expect the following to be controversial, and maybe is best in another thread: I think it is best to also have or pair this with policies removing the government subsidies on energy prices. then the cost of using the incandescents will reflect more true costs, and then the market can work better.
Keeping them legal for personal use would be fine, but these lights can trigger seizures. I know.
When they are used in commercial businesses, then the person with the disorder has no choice. Theses lights can be very dangerous for them in certain situations.
And absolutely should never be allowed for headlights in any vehicles. That is truly dangerous, even for those without the disorder.
I believe Dr. Jack Kruse spoke with RFK jr and is an expert in the effects of sunlight (and lack thereof) at the mitochondrial level. It’s the pinnacle of our health. Smart/LED lightbulbs and blue light screens are NOT healthy at all and should be banned.
