Of course we know not to be so close to heat lamps and definitely not to stare at them for so long. That fear can turn into trust for the person victimizing you, then they can turn around and sell you a crummy eBook or product without a disclosure.īut, when I tell you the context that the intensity was 1.27 W/cm^2 (yes, 1,270 mW/cm^2) for 6 continuous minutes, then you realize that your panel is 28 times less intensity and you hopefully aren’t staring directly at the LEDs the entire time… then you realize that you probably aren’t in much danger.Īnother study exposed the rabbits' eyes to Near-Infrared Heat Lamps for 5 or 10 minutes continuously at only 20 cm (about 8 inches) away! Those poor rabbits never stood a chance.
They can easily scare you with references like this recent study that induced cataracts in Rabbits with Near-Infrared light at 808nm. In this blog we will assuage your concerns and give practical tips to protecting your eyes, especially in response to some recent fearmongering stemming from derivative blog posts written by pathological liars. However, we know that most red light panels don’t deliver anywhere close to the intensity they claim. In an earlier blog we addressed the fact that high-intensity panels would be a concern for eye safety.
