Do LEDs Emit Carcinogenic Radiation?
Your question about the safety of LED radiation is an excellent one. And the simple answer is, No. LED radiation does not cause cancer. There is an extremely interesting article on electromagnetic radiation on Wikipedia if you care to learn more. I particularly like this article because it includes some excellent graphics which the layman can easily grasp. The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all electromagnetic radiation and is, theoretically, infinite. The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum which we know most about is the portion spanning from the longest wavelengths of radio and TV to the shortest wavelengths of gamma radiation. Energy released by matter can be measured and described directly by its level of photon activity or indirectly by its frequency (Hertz) or wavelength (meters, centimeters, nanometers, etc.). Electromagnetic energy travels in waves. Measuring the distance between two wave peaks gives the energy types wavelength. Referring to one of the graphs in
