LED Lights Vs Skin Health: Do They Really Cause Damage? Truth Revealed

Health: Nowadays, LED lights are everywhere. Since they provide a lot of light, they are widely used in bikes, cars, and homes. However, there are reports that LED lights have adverse effects on the skin.

LED bulbs are common in homes and offices due to low power use and long life. Recently, claims have surfaced that they harm skin. Let's see how true these claims are.

UV radiation from the sun has three types. UVA causes wrinkles, UVB causes sunburn, and UVC is the most dangerous but is absorbed by the atmosphere. High UV exposure ages skin.

Household LED bulbs emit almost no UV rays, less than 1% of total light. Their manufacturing process naturally blocks most UV radiation from escaping.

Regular white LED bulbs used at home don't harm the skin or eyes. Their UV level is much lower than sunlight. Experts say even hours under LED light daily pose no skin risk.

Special UV LEDs for sterilization or nail curing are not for home use. As long as you avoid those, regular home LED bulbs are safe and unlikely to harm your skin, experts say.
