A little confused

Clear ink is doing a presentation April 12. Hopefully we get something good out of this.

ShivaWind it's hard to say. I can say I wish they were cheaper.

If you live in the US most states have funds for "Occupational Rehabilitation" things like wheel chairs, etc. an Eink monitor would probably qualify.

ShivaWind He's in Canada.

ShivaWind I know another guy in the states who had a hell of a time even getting a diagnosis for this problem because no one even believes it's real. Besides my wife and kids I have to tell the rest of my family I can't tolerate LED and CFLS but they never listen or always forget. I'm getting to the point where I don't even go to people's houses anymore because of it.

jasonpicard i have my prescription orange lenses (from zennioptical.com) on right now. immediate windows headache when i take them off.

reaganry when you do wear them no headache?

reaganry see you are proving a great test. This is a great and immediate way to figure out if blue light is the problem. Just stand under an LED light. Make sure it is a flicker free light. Glasses do not help against flicker. If you can't take the pain put on the uvex orange glasses on or the kind you bought. Make sure you are wearing a hat and electrical tape on the sides of the glasses. This way no light get in from the top or sides. You should have no issues with the light. I have been working in a flicker free LED environment for a year and a half now. I work more then 45 hours every week no issues. I also use a flicker free BenQ monitor every day at work for at least an hour sometimes more. I can then come home and play games all night or watch TV. It took me forever to figure this out. Fluorescent is useless because they all flicker so glasses do nothing. I never really needed glasses with fluorescent but couldn't tolerate the flicker. 9 years of that hell but now at the very least my work uses flicker free.

jasonpicard the blue light is way less in CFL/ccfl that blue blockers would most likely only help over long periods of time. LED monitors are usually 5000/6500 k which is a massive jump from the old 4100 k ccfl. That's why some people can tolerate the ccfl's if they find a pwm free one. Alexander Wunsch said something incredible in one of his talks. He said if you took an incandescent and put a blue coating on it. It would still have way less blue light then an LED at the same color temperature. I think the biggest thing to think about when you jump from ccfl to LED is that the color temperature automatically starts at 5000 or 6500 which is just an insane amount of blue light. I imagine most of us in here could barely handle an LED at 2700k.

reaganry everyone on this site should watch all of his videos. He is the LED light expert. I think in the video you just posted he gets asked when is it safe to use LED'S. His answer never. LED'S are missing the heat element that incandescent lights have. He says this is healing to our eyes and body. LED damages your eye immediately and I think for up to 1 hour after he says. Clear incandescent light bulbs. Everyone on this site should be using them because we have enough issues to deal with, with all these LED'S everywhere. Clear incandescent is the best artificial light we have.

I believe in this one he compares the spectrums of the sun/led/CFL/incandescent and you see very quickly how the sun is super healing and nothing like artificial light.

JTL That's unpleasant to see reproduced on my known good laptop monitor. UGH! Not instant headache inducing, but I don't want to look at it any longer than necessary!

jasonpicard All I want to do is stockpile final year Panasonic plasmas.

degen I agree. I have 4 Samsung Plasma TV's. I want more they are so cheap.
