Don’t get burned about LED UV

January 3, 2019 By Lee Teschler

Another myth busted: You needn’t worry about ultraviolet light coming from ordinary LED bulbs. We recently checked a batch of LED bulbs for the amount of blue light they gave off. This effort came in response to claims from some in the alternative medicine crowd that LED bulbs gave off inordinate amounts of unhealthy blue […]
