This Eco Design Note examines safety issues related to LED lights and the consumers who use them. Specifically, it explores three basic questions: Can off-grid LED lights be too bright, posing a hazard to people looking at them? Alternately, can they be too dim, harming adults and children who use inadequate lights to read and work? Finally, does the light produced by LEDs disturb sleep patterns and hormone levels?
