The Safest Lamps for Health Have Been Named 0 9

Some popular types of lamps have dangerous properties, said Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor of the Department of Nanoelectronics Alexey Yurasov. "LED lamps do not contain toxic components. In contrast, fluorescent lamps contain mercury vapors and require strict disposal according to legal regulations. Incandescent and halogen lamps can easily break when dropped from a height of up to one meter or with light mechanical impact, and their filaments can be damaged by vibration. The bulbs of fluorescent lamps are more durable, but their destruction is potentially hazardous to health," the professor explained. He emphasized that LED fixtures provide light that is as close to natural as possible. The professor also named a way to check the color rendering quality of a lamp. To do this, take a sheet of white paper and a saturated red marker. If the shades turn gray or yellowish, it is better to avoid such a lamp.
