  • Awful LED lights everywhere in USA...and upcoming incandescent ban!

jordan It makes sense now

Yes, there is no other reason to force LEDs

jordan never realized I can feel that good. Felt smarter and super clear headed too.

We are light creatures, light is so intimately linked to our mind and biology, many other creatures are not, dogs for example are not visual creatures, for them is all about the nose. The kind of light changes everything for a sensible Human being, for example fire light can transform moods and thought patterns, and other kinds of light can make one feel disconnected from reality and in a mindless hypnosis state

jordan All this stuff is wrecking us and those who "aren't affected" probably are but just have no idea since they're use to it/always been around the bad lighting

Yes, unfortunately some people only now cheap lighting, and perhaps just have used to that way of being and assume its normal, because they have no way of comparing.

jordan I miss feeling good and whenever I cut that stuff out I start feeling on top of the world again.

Its the kind of light that you see on those devices , not necessarily the devices themselves or the content.

If you notice this nervous manipulation device works primarily by pulses

photon78s No discussion of how LEDs and all this tech might/will negatively affect your biofield. A vitally important concept lost to most.

Yea there is no talk about that at all, but that is on purpose, they don't want you thinking about light as an end by itself, rather as a means to an end, for example led light bulbs are good because it saves you money, they are good because they "last longer", bla bla bla, imagine if people ate food with that mindset, for example, oh yea lets eat cereal all day everyday because it saves us money!

very interesting! and it uses incandescent backlight. Incandescent is the future for quality healthy light, there is no alternative, there is no other road, led light is very useful for certain things, but it has proven itself injurious to our well being no matter how its packaged, some types of luminescent light is more injurious than others, but photons are either luminescent or incandescent end of story. Im not saying quality incandescent photons should be in places that its not needed or suitable for practical purposes, each one has its place, but if you spend considerable time in front of monitors, then it makes sense not to use the same kind of photons as what a gas station restroom would use, rather you would want the best possible, because you will literally be interacting, receiving and transmitting information only by light.

                beyondthelight So the incandescent ban concerns to something else, a hidden purpose, something that is being obfuscated.

                Agreed, and I think we can observe forces at work attacking human flourishing, health, reproduction, life in general, belief in God and/or traditional religious/moral values (such as caring for your neighbor), and personal liberty.

                I am curious about your SpectrumView monitor and I wonder if you could share more photos and/or information, especially concerning the grid of light bulbs and diffuser. The SpectrumView monitors appear to have decently even backlighting (in their marketing material), while most of the DIY incandescent monitors I've seen are deficient in that area. A few points of curiosity are:

                • Light bulb type/specifications
                • Light bulb wiring (series vs. parallel, direct 120V/240V AC vs. DC, etc.)
                • Distance between light source and LCD panel
                • Nature of diffuser (hard/soft, apparent thickness, etc.)
                • Internal surface material/color within light box

                The 24" 1080p true 8-bit/non-FRC (supposedly) SpectrumView model at $560 seems reasonably priced for what it is, although a DIY project would be interesting (and potentially cheaper), and I'm not exactly a fan of their wooden case.

                    macsforme Agreed, and I think we can observe forces at work attacking human flourishing, health, reproduction, life in general, belief in God and/or traditional religious/moral values (such as caring for your neighbor), and personal liberty.

                    Fully agree, its as if something is trying to deprive us of our light

                    macsforme . The SpectrumView monitors appear to have decently even backlighting

                    Yes totally even backlight

                    macsforme DIY project would be interesting (and potentially cheaper), and I'm not exactly a fan of their wooden case.

                    Everything is made of wood, feels more like furniture than an electronic device, definitely adds grace to your living space, if you are not a fan of wood then here is one made of cardboard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHJx7D-ttdM it seems to be the most advanced incandescent monitor available after my friend's monitors.

                            In case of bulbs try Philips eye comfort classic - warm.

                            it's not expensive to buy, don't know if are available in US are some on amazon, maybe on some home depot will be too

                            I've switched all home to this warm ones and no strain.

                            Take a cheap am radio, tune it to 1710 hz or similar frequency, and place it next or as close as possible to LED flashlight. Listen to any changes in the sound or static from the radio. Most likely you will hear the interference from the led electronics. Then try this test again with an incandescent flashlight. You should not hear any changes in the sound.

                            beyondthelight So its definitely not about the money in my humble opinion

                            It was driven by the money. All US lighting manufacturers make more money selling LED lamps than incandescent ones.

                            all led chips come from China

                            Yes, they are manufactured in Chins for pennies. Then American lighting companies package them, market them, and charge you 1000x more than they cost to make, because they are selling people the lie they are eco friendly and will last 20 years and if you buy LED lighting you are a good person. It's all a scam to enrich them at consumers expense.

                            why ban incandescent bulbs even homes are generating their own electricity?

                            The problem for them was that on an open market LED's cannot compete with incandescent, so they have to pressure the government to ban them. It's crony capitalism, pure and simple.

                            Human beings evolved in a black body radiation environment, aka sunlight. Incandescent lighting is black body radiation lighting. Everything about our visual sense, our eyes, our optic nerves, our brains, everything evolved over millions and millions of years to work with sunlight. That is why incandescent lighting will ALWAYS be far more tolerated and healthy than LED's or fluorescent lighting. We were literally made that way

                                ensete incandescent lighting will ALWAYS be far more tolerated and healthy than LED's or fluorescent lighting

                                Fluorescent white light that comes from led's and cfl's come from phosphor molecules that absorb a high frequency photoluminescent light energy beam that subsequently emit photons with less energy. While photoincandescent black body light comes from the other end, from a low frequency energy source that subsequently emit wavelengths with more and more energy.

                                ensete hey have to pressure the government to ban them. It's crony capitalism, pure and simple.

                                That's your opinion and its valid in its own way

                                beyondthelight

                                        beyondthelight A friend of mine makes them, i'm just helping reach a wider audience, i guess if you want to know all those details you should buy one and find out, he has spent many years solving all those problems and perfecting the solution, the least you can do is acknowledge his work and talent by buying one and finding out. Or you can try to make your own, and maybe solve those problems in a different manner and then sharing us your findings.

                                        Your loyalty to your friend is understandable, and obviously the sharing of information is voluntary (although that is much of what we do here). Furthermore, hard work and ingenuity deserve fair compensation, and I could see myself ultimately ordering one of these. However, as others have pointed out, there are risk factors involved in this (not insubstantial) amount of money, sent via Bitcoin to a foreign country to some individual running an apparent solo operation, with little or no access to independent product reviews as well as many other unknowns. So, with respect, I disagree that “the least I can do” is to simply place an order before thoroughly researching the product and weighing the possible benefits against the known risks.

                                            macsforme

                                            It is a group, albeit a small one, and yes sending money to a foreign country via bitcoin in exchange for a product that uses a solution that is so new (yet so old as well) but has little or no review is thrilling to say the least. But its something that just came to fruition after many years of research, and you can either get one now, later, or try to make your own as well!

                                                4 months later

                                                If anything led light should be banned, and we live in a free world were everybody is entitled to choose the kind of light we want see, just like the food we want to eat, but some people only want to have things their way and want others do their bidding as well. It should be openly discussed the health and ecological repercussions of led light but led light can also exist if people want that light. We live in an era of electric energy abundance no doubt about that, there is no electric energy scarcity at all, https://www.wivb.com/news/report-al-gores-home-uses-34-times-as-much-energy-as-average-home/

                                                The era of incandescent bulbs is returning because the golden light from incandescence can never be replaced by luminescence, and people are entitled to choose their light, no matter the logic they try to persuade you with.

                                                photon78s

                                                The future is incandescent and whoever develops nanophotonic incandescent bulbs has certainly a share of that future

                                                    If you know how to read you would have read that I never said that, I said:

                                                    beyondthelight If anything led light should be banned… but led light can also exist if people want that light.

                                                      The good news is that warm incandescent light is gaining new traction. People are increasingly unhappy with sterile, white/blue LED light. While I don't think the change will be immediate, I do see a large number of Edison bulbs being sold, and virtually all LED's are now switching to "warm" spectrums. Kindle and other light-emitting screen manufacturers are advertising "zero blue light" in their frontlights and even backlights. We'll get there. It turns out that once exposure is wide enough, we find out what the UK already did - that about 5% of the population gets physically ill from even moderate LED exposure, and the number only goes up when the exposure is constant.

                                                        Curiously, Japan does use 4000-5000K. This appears to make sense because they also generally use a larger quantity of light as well.

                                                        This has been studied including for galleries. The fewer light sources/dimmer an environment is, the more warm a light source should be. If there are many light sources and it is bright, then whiter (higher K) is better.
