No and no.
And BTW the Illuminati are not behind the climate change hoax, there is no such thing as perpetual motion, and the rapture isn't happening tomorrow. (if ever)
You may try finding reasons why full spectrum light is more healthful than monochromatic or RGB phosphors. That's still scientifically plausible. (I think...)
Blue light is bad for your eyes. that includes monitors and leds. They suggest making sure you have UV blocking glasses at all times and blue blocking glasses too.
I expect that's true to some extent. Fluorescent light and sunlight is bad for beer, and anything that's bad for beer...
Some quack made the rounds of the place I was working trying to sell us, or sell the guy handling maintenance of our buildings, on the idea that switching to these ghastly super "cold" (high color/temperature) fluorescent lights would improve visual acuity and were more efficient. (lumens/watt)
I was a guinea pig and got them in my office and workshop. They may have improved acuity slightly, but they weren't what we were used to and very unpleasant to work under. I switched the lights back to "daylight" ones and put the kibosh on the salesman's dreams.
They were thinking of switching the chemistry labs over to the new lights. We tested drugs that degraded in fluorescent lighting - in fact it was one part of our degradation studies: subject the drugs and packaging to bright fluorescent lights, high temperature, and high humidity to come up with practical expiration dates on pharmaceutical products.
The instruments I worked on contained deuterium light sources (a full spectrum light that went into the "vacuum UV range," very short wavelengths are absorbed by air) Not something you want your eyes exposed to. Quartz glass passes short wave UV, borosilicate glass passes light in the near-ultraviolet range. Plastic tends to absorb UV so I'd use plastic safety glasses around the exposed light sources. We scanned them in one of our scanning spectrophotometers to determine the UV cut-off before hand.
Strong UV light also produces ozone, so for health reasons I tried to minimize exposure.
Not necessarily. It is a perfect example of capitalism and marketing. You create the need (using fear as the motivator in this case) then sell the solution.
Oops. I forgot, they already did it:
"The BluBlocker experience all starts when you first put on a pair. The world will change and you'll never want to go back to ordinary sunglasses again. The high-definition Malenium lenses block 100% of UV and blue light, giving you a level of protection and clarity that only BluBlocker sunglasses provide."
"Why is Blocking Blue Light So Important?
Blue light doesn't focus on the retina which is the focusing screen of the eye whereas other colors focus close to the retina. When you "block blue light" with BluBlocker sunglasses you eliminate this problem. Objects appear clearer, sharper, and well defined. You get amazing clarity and the best protection with BluBlocker's high-definition Malenium lenses."
I think Malenium is right next to Unobtanium in the periodic chart; it is really good shit and very, very exclusive...
