You can compare in picture, that red and infrared is almost missing in LED, those are healthy wavelengths albeit you can't see them.

Amount of blue in daylight is ok, because you are not walking around outside with face up to the skies and your eye is adjusting anyways - comparing if you are under same amount of blue indoors reading or working on something.. Important is also "a stroboscopic affect in some LED lights - provoked by tiny fluctuations in electric current - can induce 'headaches, visual fatigue and a higher risk of accidents,' the report said."
Besides stroboscopic effect LED is digital light, not analogue, so its also messing with all natural functions just because it is unnaturally in packages.

Sure. I've read things about how LEDs not emitting the heat of incandescents being 'unnatural' of a sort. But this is the first I've heard of their emitted blues causing blindness.
Ah, I see. At least for a little while longer. Hopefully they're regulated in their manufacturing to account for this from here on out.
