Would it hurt your eyes to look right at it (on either low or high setting) or is it a softer glow?

It is a softer glow; nothing glaring that would hurt your eyes. Deciding factor for me since I am visually impaired and light sensitive. I am sitting next to one of these units right now and looked down at it :) They perform so well I have multiple units - great product!!

It does not hurt your eyes unless you sit really close to it and stare at it for a while. I personally did not try it and I won't try it in the future either.

It does not hurt my eyes to look directly at it on high. It does have more of a softer glow to it. Very nice radiant heat.

No, it does not heart one eyes, nor it has high glow. The settings are either one tube or two tubs only and it can isolates or stand still, your choice. It looks and works just like the older model with electric wire inside if you had one before.

So far no, but it is bright. The glow reminds me of when our Christmas tree is lit. The heat is quite comfortable, even too generous @times. I'm also not sure how sensitive your eyes are, my cats love to get close to it, & they are fine. In any case, I think you could try it & see how comfortable you are with the unit. The safety feature is especially key, something that isn't built in the older heaters. I hope you enjoy it if you purchase it, & I hope I've answered your question. Stay warm! ;o)

Allison, No, in fact, it's meant to be used off at an angle on either the right or life side, aimed at your face. Directly looking at it would be akin to staring into the sun--it's that bright!

I like mine. It's not too bright nor too dull. For the price I'd suggest trying it as you'll never have too much light..

Hi,I set it about arms length away from me on my desk each morning and turn it so I can just see the light in my peripheral vision. Ever so often I will look right at the light but not enough to hurt my eyes. It's adjustable so you can adjust how much light you can stand to look at. I don't have mine set at full 100% because it can be blinding. I usually have it on for an hour sometimes I'll forget about it until it's been an hour and a half and just turn it off then. I use it every morning and I've been able to turn my self around from sleeping all day to sleeping at night which was my purpose for getting it. It was recommended to me by the Sleep Center of America in Denver. Hi,I set it about arms length away from me on my desk each morning and turn it so I can just see the light in my peripheral vision.

Yes, but I doubt you'll find it too bright. It is a very low light. More of a glow than a light really.

yeah it was not hard to use. I wish it measured a little lower light levels but that makes it cost more, it depends on how low of light you need to check.

Definitely not! The light is extremely bright and it makes it hard to see anything, especially in low light.

I would not look directly at the light, I have it on in the morning while reading or havingy breakfast and that seems to work great. My eyes are sensitive but so far no problems with them as I have the light to my side and not directly in front of me. Hope that helps!

Probably wouldn't be as bright and wouldn't glow as long as it would if it received better light than what you are describing.

Yes. It sounds like it would be a pain, but you barely notice them after a bit. I've found myself walking around after a movie still wearing them without realizing it (which is actually supposed to be bad for your eyes, so try not to do this too often).

It s really low glow. a faint glow can be seen from the emitter. This unit also has two status lights on the front that need to be covered.

The light is not too bright, on high it is a low glow, on low more of a night light effect.

I gave these as gifts to the men in my family. I do not think you could look straight at the light. It is very bright. I do not know if there was a warning. Sorry

The flicker effect is very faint. I like it that way, but I guess it would depend on your personal preference.

The light emitted is a softer tone. It shines plenty of light as I use it as my desk lamp and work most of the day with it on and the natural light from the window. It is NOT the hard floressent kind.

It will not blind you, it is not that bright, it just gives off a reddish glow.

Shauna, Only if you stare directly at the light for a prolong period of time. There is a switch that makes it go from max brightness to normal brightness. It isn't adjustable so you have only 2 settings. I personaly did not have any type of issue with the brightness causing any pain for my eyes.
