蓝光危害

据英国《每日邮报》最近的报道，西班牙一项最新研究结果表明，LED节能灯有可能对人们的视力造成损害。研究专家认为，台灯等近距离使用的灯具尽量不要使用LED灯泡。欢迎说说你的观点。背景知识：

Blue light

Blue light hazard is defined as the potential for a photochemical induced retinal injury resulting

from radiation exposure at wavelengths primarily between 400 nm and 500 nm. For the purposes of this discussion, blue light is defined as light within the wavelength range of 400-480 nm, because over 88% of the risk of photo-oxidative damage to the retina

from fluorescent lamps (cool white or ‘broad spectrum”) is due to light wavelengths in the

range of 400-480 nm. The blue light hazard peaks at 440 nm, and falls to 80% of peak at

460 and 415 nm. In contrast, green light of 500 nm is only one-tenth as hazardous to the retina than blue light with a wavelength of 440 nm. The mechanisms for photochemical induced

retinal injury are caused by the absorption of light by photoreceptors in the eye.

Under normal conditions when light hits a photoreceptor, the cell bleaches and becomes

useless until it has recovered through a metabolic process called the “visual cycle.

Absorption of blue light, however, has been shown to cause a reversal of the process

where cells become unbleached and responsive again to light before it is ready. This greatly

increases the potential for oxidative damage. By this mechanism, some biological tissues such as skin, the lens of the eye, and in particular the retina may show irreversible changes induced by prolonged exposure to moderate levels of UV radiation and short-wavelength light.

According to some of these studies, blue light waves may be especially toxic to those of us

who are prone to macular problems due to genetics, nutrition, environment, health habits,

and aging.

At present, LED to achieve white light, there are three main methods:

1, the LED of the three primary color chips red, green and blue multi-chip group and synthesis of white light.
