LED Lights and Health

When it comes to lightings, Energy Saving LED Outdoor Bulbs is unquestionably the best lighting solution which is widely available in the market. Cheaper, durable, and energy efficient these are the most renowned traits of LED Lights. From the health point of view LEDs are not behind any other substitute. In fact they are right in front. When it comes to lightings there are many factors that can be harmful. In this article, we try to discuss the characteristics of artificial lightings.


The most common hurdle when it comes to lighting is the flicker. For photosensitive people, flicker is the most dangerous problem. It may also affect people who spend most of their time in artificial lighting.


There are two major levels of flicker, one being the visible flicker and other being the invisible. On the frequency of around 3-70Hz, flicker is visible. Under normal circumstances no form of light falls into this category.

Fluorescent and other traditional lights operate at around 50-70Hz which is standard frequency of AC current. This is the frequency which can result in visible flicker but fluorescent tubes usually are of frequency which is two times of this frequency. In the most common cases, flicker usually occurs when the light is heating up to gain intensity or it is old.

On the other hand, LED Lights has the tendency to never flicker (unless intentionally designed). They are designed to lit up instantly and don’t have any so called ‘Warming Time’. For Example conventional Indoor LED Tube Lights Manufacturer work at around frequency of 12HZ. But here the main point is that they should be used with the right transformer. If not then they may flicker as the frequency will be manipulated.

On the other side of the range is Invisible Flicker, which occurs at frequency above 70Hz. This type is also capable of harming our health. This scenario is most with people who spend long time working in artificial lights. The point to be noted here is that this setback is not any light specific; it can lead to a simple headache to severe migraine as well.

Apart from flickering, the constant droning of lights can also cause health problems. With LED Lights this is not present or simply cannot occur. LED Lights on a brighter side also don’t contain any poisonous substances which can cause harm to ou health or is hazardous to the environment. The heat emission of LED Lights is minimal too and they neither emit any UV radiation which makes them even safer.

Recent technological advancement has also come up with LED Lights that are not just safe but also beneficial to our health. More scientific research is being conducted to make this form of lights beneficial for us in many other ways.
