The us lighting community has issued a warning to the medical association against the use of blue led lights.
During its annual meeting in June 2016, the American Medical Association (AMA) announced its adoption of new guidelines regarding the use of LED technology in outdoor applications due to what it saw as “potential harmful human and environmental effects.” This was described in the organization’s “Guidance to Reduce Harm from High Intensity Street Lights” statement—further detailed by AMA official policy statement H-135.927—which asserted: “Recent large surveys found that brighter residential nighttime lighting is associated with reduced sleep times, dissatisfaction with sleep quality, excessive sleepiness, impaired daytime functioning, and obesity.” Based on conclusions from a 2016 report (2-A-16) titled “Human and Environmental Effects of Light Emitting Diode (LED) Community Lighting,” and produced by the AMA’s Council on Science & Public Health (CSAPH), the AMA’s statement warned that the use of blue-rich LEDs was a cause for alarm in both lighting and healthcare settings, albeit for different reasons.
