Neon signs look so stunning and bright that you can’t stop staring at them. You can never have too much of anything, right? It is dangerous to look at any source of light, such as the sun or CFL (Compact Fluorescent Led), that you see.
These neon LED signs have warm white LEDs that are not dangerous to the eyes. They don’t produce much blue light and emit a very low level of brightness (nanometers strong>).

The rest will answer questions related to this topic. It could be about which types of lights are most dangerous, which neon light is best for our eyes, and how LEDs affect our eyes.

What light sources are dangerous to our eyes and eyes?

According to a survey “2000 to 3500K and greater than 500nm ranges are safe.”

This means that even blue light within visible range could cause vision damage. The blue light we see is often divided into two types, short-wave and extended-wave.

Short-wave blue light between 415nm and 455nm can cause eye irritation. 2018: A thorough study The short-wave exposure to blue light could lead to dry eyes and disruptions in the sleep cycle.

The longer wavelengths of 455 to 495nm are safe for our eyes. These longer wavelengths of blue light have been shown to aid in the regulation of our sleep cycles.

Cold white LED vs.

Warm White LED emits approximately 3000 Kelvin Degrees (or 3000 K) of temperature. Warm white is close to an incandescent (or traditional) light bulb. It emits a softer light which is suitable for most home situations.

However, cold white LEDs produce between 5000-6000 Kelvin Degrees (5000-6000K) of temperature. Use cold light LED in the bathrooms and kitchen.

The majority of modern LED lamps use a white LED coated with a phosphor material to create white light. The LED wavelength is 470 nm. It does not contain UVA and UVB wavelengths which can be dangerous.

How do our eyes perceive visible light

All of your eyes work together for you to see.

The cornea (the front clear layer of the eye) is where light first passes through. The cornea shapes like a dome. Light is bent to help the eye focus.

The pupil allows light from the outside to enter the eyes. The pupil is controlled by the iris (the colored portion of your eye) through a small opening in the pupil.

Next, light passes the lens (a clear inner layer of the eyes) and onto the retina. The lens works with your cornea to focus light onto your retina.

A retina, a light-sensitive layer in the tissue behind the eyes, is called a photoreceptor. Special cells, called photoreceptors, are found in the retina. When they detect light, the photoreceptors generate electrical signals. These signals can be sent to the brain via nerves which reach into the brain through rods and cones.

These electrical signals travel across the retina and optic nerve to reach the brain. The signals are then converted by the brain into the images we see.

Which color neon LED is best to protect our eyes?

As you all know, a neon LED sign is the latest generation of lights. It is used in everything from office decor to banners and celebration signs. Nearly every color is possible using neon LED signs.

The best neon LED color for our eyes is yellow. The yellow color neon LED sign has a longer wavelength so our eyes do NOT have to strain. It is easily noticeable.

But you shouldn’t overexpose the eyes to any color. Dimmable LED lights have a distinct advantage. The dimmable feature allows you to lower the intensity of the lights to protect your eyes from damage and decrease strain.

Protect your eyes from ultraviolet rays

UV rays are present everywhere from the sun to the screens of our smartphones. There are several things you can do to minimize the harmful effects of UV radiation on your eyesight.

Give your eyes a break

Limiting light exposure is the best and easiest way to avoid overexposure. Make sure you take breaks from the monitor at regular intervals. You can also use the 20-20-20 Rule.

You can take 20 seconds to look at something 20ft away every 20 minutes. This technique can help prevent eye strain. It also reminds you to watch out for UV light.

Look into computer glasses

If you spend a lot of time looking at computer screens, you should invest in a pair. Computer glasses have yellow-tinted lenses that block harmful UV rays.

You can also order glasses to fit your exact working distance. You can also relax your eyes while working, and it can help reduce eye strain.

Invest in no-glare lenses

No-glare lenses are best for night-time work. Night-time affects color recognition, and peripheral and depth perception.

Night driving can be made safer and more pleasant with no-glare sunglasses. The lenses improve your vision and protect you from distracting reflections. It can also help with eye fatigue.

Some remedies can protect your eyesight. Experts recommend vitamin supplements with vitamin E, zinc, or lutein.

These pre-mixed eye vitamins made it 25% less likely that people would develop eye diseases.

What LED can do for your eyes?

Researchers are worried about long-term exposure to LED light. AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration), was a major cause of blindness throughout the western world.

However, a Study has shown that LED exposure is not harmful to healthy individuals. Overexposure in the late evenings and at night can affect sleep cycles.

However, the study did point out that LED emissions are possible to be harmful to children and vulnerable groups.

According to the study, “Children are more sensitive than older people to blue light.” Exposures to light richly colored in blue may cause discomfort in elderly people.

Studies have previously shown that bright sunlight long-term exposure can lead to eye damage. They discovered that blue light in daylight was the root cause of the problem.

Conclusion

The key points to keep in mind if you are worried about having eyesight problems due to the LED lights are:

• It is important to note the wavelength of LED devices. Limit UV rays exposure, which can cause problems for our eyesight. If necessary, you can use filters on your screens.
• Warm white LEDs, as well as yellow-like lamps, are good options that won’t strain eyesight.
• While LED has no detrimental effect on our eyesight and can be used in excess, it can cause serious problems.

UV rays cause the most damage to our eyesight. Take precautions to avoid being exposed to them.
