Around LED-production once appeared a lot of myths, which spoke of its harmful effects on the human body. Let's look at some of them, is it really:

Influence of light on vision
Standard light bulbs flicker during their work, as they depend on the power-line surges. LED lamp is characterized by high resistance to voltage surges, which eliminates the effect of flickering or flashing. Smooth and uniform light with its rays literally "fills" the space, creating a comfortable environment and eliminates visual fatigue.




Also, psychologists proved that the quality of the light depends on a favorable atmosphere in the room, and promotes labor productivity of employees at work in the office.

LED lamps have a positive impact on the human body and are not harmful to health.

As for the standard fluorescent lamps, their disposal is required, as a part of these lamps have a mercury vapors which can cause irreparable harm to the human body. Mercury adversely affects many organs and the central nervous system. The myth destroyed, and environmentally friendly LED lighting - an important step on the way to taking care of our planet
