The video is a slow motion video taken with iphone after replacing the one LED light that was visibly flickering.
I recently swapped out the flickering LED lights in our bathrooms for Edison 40-watt incandescent bulbs, and the difference is incredible. The original LED bulbs were flickering to the point it was directly visible. Our children were complaining that the bright lights hurt their eyes, especially in the morning. So I swapped out the LED lights and put in decorative Edison style incandescent bulbs, which are much more pleasant and they don’t hurt our children’s eyes.
Flickering lights, even when subtle, can take quite a toll—causing headaches, eye strain, impaired sleep, and decreased health overall. The sleep component is especially important in the late afternoon and evening. In spaces where calm lighting is essential, the switch to incandescent bulbs with minimal flicker can make a big impact. While not as energy-efficient as LEDs, the consistent, warm light feels much better in a space designed for unwinding. I feel strongly that the improvement in health long term achieved by using healthier light will decrease energy consumption far more than the LED light bulbs ever will. I’m not quite at the “just use candles or no light” stage but who knows, maybe I’ll get there some day. I’m not entirely convinced on the science of the newer “healthier” LED lights and they’re more expensive so for now I’ll continue putting decorative incandescent lights in my house.
This is part of our light journey that is largely a consequence of the work done by Dr Martin Moore-Ede aka “The Light Doctor” and Dr Jack Kruse.
