Any light at too high an intensity can damage the eyes, regardless of source. The color of the light affects circadian rhythms. Neither is news.

Funny, my euro6 diesel puts out less pollution than most of my old cars.
It's a shock, that looking into really bright lights may be bad.

This did not really work as a funny given that up to 64,000 people die each year from air pollution in the UK.Breathing can damage health too. If you breathe for a really long time you die. They should put a health warning on air.

8W is quite blinding. Mine are 3W 230~lm
a counter argumentI dont think that is actually the problem.
They go as low as 0.5w
Apparently people don't understand more watts means more energy and because led are efficient that energy goes mainly into producing light whereas with filament it goes mainly into heat.
Just go into screwfix and buy weaker bulbs. Not hard is it?
a counter argument
you need some blue - SAD etc. and, in modern office working conditions that may have diminished from the sun,
considering relative intensity, could that be obtained with 5minutes in the sun or 30minutes under a led 4K light. ?
so, apart from the cicadean rythmn concern (blue after dusk, impeeding sleep) having some blue at home maybe beneficial, to integrate the right doseage over the day.

lol. the funny thing is you believe that and have missed my point totally.This did not really work as a funny given that up to 64,000 people die each year from air pollution in the UK.
As I just stated. I dont think this is about "Bright" light as such. Rather "Dim" light that has a spectral profile that we are not evolved to cope with.
The report does talk about long term exposure to low intensity LED bulbs as well hence their recommendation towards 'warm' LED bulbs in the home. How many people have a lamp plonked right next to their television or computer?
Isnt this just confirmation that modern led headlights are too damn bright?
A photon is characterized by either a wavelength, denoted by λ or equivalently an energy, denoted by E. There is an inverse relationship between the energy of a photon (E) and the wavelength of the light (λ) given by the equation:
E=hc/λ
where h is Planck's constant and c is the speed of light.
Literally have 4000K everywhere except bedroom lamps
4000K is a nice white-white, not a blue-white. Can't stand any cooler than about 4200K.

I don't think the idea is to look directly at them... Its like saying that looking at the sun hurts your eyes.
Are people really that stupid these days!?
yes .. but, if leds are more intense than the sun (some of the bike leds, with optics may well be ?) then may need special instructions.
