Great. The link to the LED looks good. It is the correct wavelength and a reasonable price. The alternative links for bulbs may be useful for others who may be reading this thread.Much appreciate the info about wavelenghts, penetration and heating! As well the alternative links for bulbs.
What you reckon about this one ? Solux LED CLOSE RED E27 - 670nm - 6W | led-grower.eu
The trucker most likely has been eating pufa burgers and fries at truckstops all of his life. Also the exposure trough the window only on one side of his face is very unnatural. I know from this forum that sun damage is when the skin has a lot of pufa. I have the same experience, because in my country every single dish is cooked with sunflower oil. Before I was burning every summer and my skin was peeling even after short exposure. Since I found this forum I eat only meals prepared with beef tallow. This summer was very hot, I was working in the garden just with swimshorts, going out shirtless etc. I didn't burn at all, just nice tan. The trucker has not exactly burned, but is still a kind of sundamage.
Looking at the sun for few seconds morning, noon, afternoon is good. Looking for prolonged time at settng sun is good for eyesight. There are articles claiming looking at red bulbs is also good for eyes. But what do I know, you could be right.
The trucker photo is a great visual display of how damaging the sun's light can be. Being low PUFA is a giant step in the right direction especially for sunburns. But being low PUFA may not be sufficient so I am still cautious.
When I use red light I do not take special precautions to protect my eyes. I only avoid staring directly into the light. I may be overly cautious, but I do not want to suggest something that may be harmful. I was taught not to stare into the sun regardless of whether it is early morning, midday or late afternoon. I still get the benefit of the sun's red light just generally looking in the sun's direction.
Take care and enjoy your purchase.
