THE MULTI PRONGED ATTACK 💡 OF LED BULBS

⁣Excerpt:

Disagreement over how to regulate certain lightbulbs has been brewing for years. In 2019, the Department of Energy determined that it did not need to modify energy conservation standards for certain lightbulbs. In 2021, President Biden issued an executive order that directed federal agencies to review recent policies that were “inconsistent” with reducing carbon and greenhouse gas emissions. Agency decisions, said Biden, must “listen to the science” and protect public health and the environment.

The Energy Department interpreted this to mean issuing new restrictive rules, which became effective in July 2022. During the rulemaking process, multiple groups expressed concerns over adverse environmental impacts from forcing adoption of LEDs as the primary light source in our homes. The department flatly rejected these concern, claiming that it had not found any evidence that using LEDs in daily life directly results in adverse health effects or negatively affects animals.

This claim stands in stark contrast to decades of existing science on blue light, LEDs, and potential detrimental impacts to both human and environmental health. To compare, in 2019 the French Agency of Food, Environmental, and Occupational Health and Safety published a detailed report summarizing research on LEDs. It documented public health concerns such as flicker, phototoxicity, glare and impact to human circadian rhythms.
