fluorescent lights burn my eyes, will this also burn my eyes?

It is hard on the eyes if you look directly at it. I put it at an angle so it's not shining straight in my face. But, yeah, It's really bright.

It is a very bright light but you are not supposed to look directly at it. Bright enough that it is difficult to look directly at it even on the "low" setting. It is meant to sit off to the side of you and only for a half hour to an hour.

No. It has a filtered shade. I am light sensitive due to a detached retina and one pupil that will not completely reduce in size and it does not bother me. I love mine and have bought them for both college-age grandchildren and my daughter and daughter-in-law. Does wonders for our SAD. Hope this helps.

I did some research on led emissions on TVs and the only thing I found was that the blue light can cause cataracts and bother your eyes.Philips goLITE BLU Light Therapy Device

Yes you can use it with fluorescent lighting as long as the wattage is above 40. You just cannot use energy saving light bulbs.http://yourhome.honeywell.com/home/Products/Safety+and+Security/Programmable+Timer+Switches/RPLS540A.htm

I really don't think it will cause a fire (my opinion) Since these are LEDs and produce a very lower heat. But I cannot grantee...it might depend how long your are going to keep the lights on...

The light is brighter than the fluorescent lamps. I replaced all my fluorescent lamps and I'm very happy. I find that removing the ballast at least for me the leds were the brightest. I hope this helps.

I was actually painting and using my lamp as this e-mail came through. I touched the bulb and Yes you could burn yourself on this bulb if you held your finger there for a minute as it does get pretty hot, it is not a cool touch bulb. It is not like a tanning bulb either and I have used mine every day for years and no sunburn :)Hope this answers your question.

CF bulbs will not provide heat like incandescent bulbs. If you are counting on heat from you overhead lighting then stay away from the CF.

It will not harm the device. It will give you a bright screen with an over exposure message. Not a big problem you are going to be NIGHT Blind in the eye you are using anyway.

Not sure about fluorescent, but I use it with 3 led bulbs. Works great! Should just get led's, they last forever!!

Fluorescent lighting gives me headaches as well, but this is a little different. The lamps help with seasonal affective disorder and are only intended to be used for 30 minutes/day. I have mine on my desk at work. I've never gotten a headache from using it, but do notice a difference in my moods when I use it consistently.

Hi Jose... No, you would need the fluorescent light as well. This led isn't powerful enough by itself to sustain your corals.

Note sure exactly, but I had no problem so far. Just a suggestion, tho. I'd really recommend that you use these fluorescent tubes. It worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very pleasing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient.

No, all compact fluorescents use mercury vapor to generate light. If a bulb breaks, make sure to open your windows and air out the room.

I dont think there will be any harm. Except the unit gets warm after two hours.But it depends on how much u are close or far away to the lampIF u are far away. I dont think it will have any harmAnd if u are close to the lamp. U will get annoyed because it is too bright.
