Our church just replaced all the fluorescent lights with LED. Not so bad, except I work in the office 25 hours a week.

Life just isn’t safe anymore...

I’m 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...

What could be the link between blue light and an internal organ? Why only at night?

Sounds like another government grant to me.

What’s killing me is the constant stress I allow myself to be under just by seeing all the Leftist Satanic crap in politics and on tv.

I’ll use incandescent until I run out. Got plenty of 100s, but am running a little low on the lower wattage bulbs. Still, I don’t change them very often.

Forget it. Climate Change will kill us long before LED’s give us cancer.

It’s only the crapy LED’s that are that painful arc-welder blue white, most LED lights can be bought in warm spectrum to mimic incandescent, and many can be changed at will as far as color to just about anything you want or even set to shift colors in a cycle. The obnoxious blue spectrum lighting that has been around all my life and I’ve always hated is fluorescent. So, why blame an apparent correlation between high exposure to light in the blue spectrum with various cancers on LED lights? Fluorescent is a far more likely culprit.

Ok, three words/phrases that generally tell you that what you are reading/hearing is complete and utter bullsh*t:

Researchers
International team
Experts

And the more scary and dire the conclusions of their “studies”, the more certain you can be that it is absolute horse manure.

We can look to the Democrats Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 which banned incandescent bulbs.

I have a little, LED night-light. When it is on and the ceiling fan is on I can watch the blades as the LED strobes the blades. I’m assuming that it is strobing at 60 Hertz. I also have to assume that the strobing can harm the eyes but internal organs? Give me a break!

I’m not too hot on prostate cancer, and I still have a lot of incandescent bulbs. They may cost more to operate...but now it seems worth it - I’ll keep using them, probably until I’m gone.

Everybody is missing the point. it is Sin that causes death.

The bad news:
Death of my body is certain.

"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Rom 5:12 AV). 

But there is some good news:
Though my body dies, I can get a new body to live in.

"Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 
That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life
by Jesus Christ our Lord" (Rom 5:20,21 AV).

It's fr-r-e-e-e, mon, it's fr-r-e-e-e!

You just have to agree to His terms, that's all. He does the rest!

It’s all that electromagnetic energy that we are emitting. Then there is CO2. Don’t forget GMOs and chem trails. And the UFOs are conspiring with Bigfoot and the Lock Nes Monster.

Interesting.

Melatonin is an extremely important hormone in the body. Among its effects is to act as an antioxidant and protect against cancer. Another effect is to regulate the sleep/wake cycle.

So I am not surprised that the reduction in use of friendly warm incandescent bulbs seems to be resulting in higher cancer fates. I wouldn’t be surprised if further research shows other adverse health effects.

Personally, I hate artificial light, especially those bluish light sources. The moment they illuminate, I feel a wave of depression—they really do make me feel horrible. So I have not been very happy with the ill-conceived mandates to phase out incandescent bulbs. And I really do not think that I am the only person who finds bluish light sources depressing.

Hopefully, more studies like this will be forthcoming, with a resulting return to friendlier yellowish light sources. Meanwhile, I will continue to read by the light of my 30-something year old incandescent light bulb that I use daily.

The same blue light is present in SUNLIGHT! are they going to even let their stupid minds think about that? or are they so fixated on finding cancer in man-made things that they can’t think straight?

(yes)

My observation after managing night shift crews for 30 years is that it is working at night the has the most impact, not the type of lighting. Also, there are people that really like to work at night. They tend to have more use of alcohol and tobacco than others. Empirical observation(s).
