Light and Your Health Series Part 2: Light Bulbs. Light bulbs advertise that they save energy or promote sleep, but some light bulbs have significant side effects for your well being and do not perform as advertised. Find out which light bulbs will actually promote your well being, good energy, and a good night's sleep.
Please note that total light bulb brightness tests were done using a single light bulb per room or per room area in a large room. As a rule of thumb always keep total light bulbs to a minimum. Also, do not a dimmer switch to make dimmer light. Dimmer switches produce huge amounts of dirty electricity.

@Ksjskalkwvshwjwvqnam 3 года назад

Incandescent light bulbs are still my favorites: they emit the most pleasing light on the eye. I grew up in the light of such lamps. Even LED bulbs with warm light cannot be compared to incandescent bulbs in terms of comfort. In my apartment, there are cold fluorescent lamps on the ceiling. If I turn them on in the evenings, then I begin to experience stress, and with daily use - even depression. And yesterday I took an ordinary desk lamp, into which a 60 W incandescent bulb is screwed, put it on the cupboard - and immediately the situation changed dramatically for the better. The warm analogue light from an incandescent lamp is very relaxing for me. Today I want to go to the store and buy a 95 W incandescent lamp (if available in the store).

I've been trying my hardest to find the right "smart bulb". I think this is the perfect feature for a smart bulb, but I don't have the expertise to determine which ones are the best. Everywhere I've read, I've seen that 2000k @ 350 Lumens is ideal for night time, but I haven't been able to find any that I trust to produce that in the evening. One of the biggest gaps in reviews that I've found is a review of the spectrum produced by the bulbs. It's nearly impossible to find anywhere that has tested the blue light levels of Smart Bulbs. If you know of any, please let me know! I'd love to get some full-spectrum bulbs that produce daylight temperature but can still produce healthy night time lighting. If you know of any, please let me know! And thanks for the video! This is fantastic!

Where can I buy several of the GE Reveal incandescent bulbs in 40 & 60 watt? I am vision impaired & these are the only bulbs that do not hurt my eyes & give me bad headaches.

@illuminatinghealth765 3 года назад

Halogens are ok with respect to dirty electricity, but too bright for night time use. For incandescents It can be easier to find low wattage "party style", or even just buy the tiny incandescents meant to go inside of the salt lamps!

Are the salt lights a good option to counter the effects of office fluorescent light bulbs? My eyes go blurry after a few hours in the office.

@illuminatinghealth765 Год назад

It might be helpful in addition to blue-blocking (and green blocking glasses, if possible - perhaps try glasses with a yellow or orange tint?) to block the excessive blue/green light from office light bulbs. Placing filters over lights has also been shown to be very effective: glarminy.com/2016/06/15/eye-strain-headache-fluorescent-light/ Let me know what you try and how it goes !

What about high-pressure sodium or metal halide

@illuminatinghealth765 2 года назад

There's a nice paper here that gives the spectral frequencies for all kinds of lightbulbs: www.researchgate.net/publication/223137703_Spectral_Identification_of_Lighting_Type_and_Character. High pressure sodium is discussed on pp 3975 & 3976. These lamps contain some mercury, so that will be reflected in the spectrum, but at least there is not much blue light (although still some). Most of it is green/yellow/orange. So these lamps are not as acutely damaging to melatonin production, but if they're bright the green light can still be problematic at night (see this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cK0tG8kJmDY.html). If you have one right outside your window (streetlamp) it's best to block it. Metal halide lights (p. 3974) contain mercury and variable spectra, depending on the lamp. Usually there is some blue and a decent amount of green, so potentially ok for night time if kept very dim, but not ideal due to the green content.

@AlexMitchell-sj4sb 13 дней назад

What about pink, green, etc. colored lights?. I know people use pink lights in their homes and green because they are supposed to be more calming.

You can buy incadescent bulb and use it with a dimmer. By dimming it you not only (obviously) reduce the light intensity, but also get rid of blue and green spectrum. Nothing comes closes to using incadescent bulb with a dimmer.

@illuminatinghealth765 2 года назад

Thanks for writing, Jakub! The unfortunate bummer here is that dimmer switches work by flickering the light on and off very quickly. This creates high amounts of "dirty electricity", just like running a fluorescent bulb. You can test your dimmer switch for dirty electricity with an AM radio tuned to static, like I do in the video with the fluorescent. When you turn the dimmer on, you should hear the frequencies through the radio. Dirty electricity has been potentially tied to blood sugar irregularity and other problems.

2 года назад

@@illuminatinghealth765 Interesting, I'll do some research on that. Do all dimmers work like this?

@HSR-bk5qb Год назад

So if a light bulb has mercury in it, it should not be used? If not, how do you safely dispose of it?

@illuminatinghealth765 Год назад

You need to take it to hazardous waste/e-waste disposal. Usually your city will have a collection site or collection days. Thanks so much for being responsible !

@ldnh.6300 4 года назад

Interesting! I heard LED light bulbs can hurt the eyes. I have LED light for my home use. I'm currently using 65W LED light bulb for my living room. Is that harmful. Thank you.

@illuminatinghealth765 4 года назад

If it is a standard LED that has a color temperature > 2200K it is certainly harmful at night as far as suppressing melatonin; during the day I do not know whether a single bulb of that intensity would cause problems as far as skin and eye damage or not. Opening windows to allow natural lighting into the room during the day would help to cancel out negative effects. Check out my video on the health hazards of energy efficient light bulbs. Thank you for your interest !

@samik83 2 года назад

I can see the diffence with regular LED and incondecent lights easily. I don't like the light LED give off, it always seems too "sharp" even with the warm yellow ones. I was totally fooled when I saw a retro LED the first time. Totally mimicks the regular bulb. Nice to get confirmation. I think the trick is the retro ones have a lot more suface area and glow more gently where as regular LED's are usually really small and glow really bright to compensate for their size.

@davidrod2865 Год назад

I agree incandescent are the healthier but they flicker with the net freq. You can simple check it with your camera pointing at them with different freq that your net. An incandescent ligth feeded with DC would have the healthiest emision with less flickering, just some oscilation due to the output of a dc signal. If you feed them with a batery that would the best. I am surprised that there is no solution like that. I would love to have a lamp pluged into the net with a ac/dc converter. The oscilating DC output would feed a baterry that stays charged, and the battery could feed the ligth bulb in a perfectly and continuous manner.

@illuminatinghealth765 Год назад

Excellent point, but unfortunately, AC/DC converters produce significant magnetic fields that aren't healthy either. Olive oil lamps are honestly the best solution (I have a video on making them), but the light bulbs recommended here are the next best bet -
