I recommend a lot of LED and fluorescent lighting to customers so when I stumbled upon this researcher who suggests they are unhealthy I was intrigued. I emailed him and asked for published clinical studies but he could not furnish me with much. Does anyone on this forum know of any health hazards associated with LED and fluorescent lighting?
Here are a few links.

This is my question to him and his reply about clinical studies.
3. Do you have published clinical studies to corroborate your findings?
I am constantly collecting papers related to these topics when I browse the
medical search engines - what I often do. Sometimes I think, lighties are
not interested in critical aspects, so the lighting community seems to me
quite uninformed with regard to the positive effects of long wavelengths...
The only clinical study I have conducted deals with skin rejuvenation using
near infrared and red light. It was published in a peer reviewed journal,
you can download it here:

Since skin and retina exhibit some similar properties, some conclusions
could be drawn from the skin related findings - but this is not a
scientific approach...
