I put an adjustable LED above my shower, and when I turn it down low the hertz makes the water droplets look motionless and frozen in time, momentarily.
Does this include those stinking blue headlights that blind me?
Yes. Pineal gland: stimulated by full-spectrum daylight to produce melatonin, then release durint nighttime. Blue light interferes with circadian rhythm.
Lux can be downloaded for free on computer; it changes monitor to yellow shift at night.
I use full-spectrum bulbs during the day, red bulbs at night (like submarines do).
Not levels, but the release.
Failure to get enough real light (full spectrum, including blue) is what lowers levels.
It is likely that it isn’t so much the LED white light that contributes to cancer, but rather the lack of melatonin being produced by the body. Lack of light at night triggers the body to produce melatonin. If one is exposed to constant white light the body doesn’t produce adequate melatonin.
Melatonin has been proven to protect the body against getting cancer. It also helps with many other processes in the body. One can also supplement with it to get enough in the body to do what it does. It can help people get sleepy and fall asleep when they otherwise are trouble doing so.
I found some in the Dollar Tree. They have an online store.
100% in agreement. Hate fluorescent too. The blue-white LED color is 5000 Kelvin. The incandescent LED color is 2700K. After a still on going search for a good LED we went with that color. Although we use 3000K for task lighting.
CFL’s did, that’s for sure.
What a scam that was.
I think there will be a market for incandescents before long. Nothing beats it for both light, and heat.
By the by, what is up with GE stock? It’s chart looks like a wheelchair ramp.
Heh! I should have died several times over.
Been working 12-hour shifts switching from 6AM-6PM to 6PM-6AM every two weeks for the last 18 years.
The only reason I like nights better is simple: NO MANAGEMENT.
;-)
A very common observation and position about night shift.
Huh? I thought that was standard practice. I briefly worked in a three shift factory. I volunteered for 3rd shift; it paid better. I was told that up front at the interview.

Im sure we can get some bottomless government grants to decide whether we should worry about this. Is 15 years enough time to study it? We can always go longer...
