LEDs OPTICAL RADIATION HAZARD

Abstract

In the paper, on the basis of literature reports and own researches of the optical radiation of LEDs, the photobiological risks were estimated. The evaluation was made on the basis of standard PN-EN 62471 “Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems . The analysis shows that the LEDs are generally safe and do not pose health risks, but some sources, especially with a high colour temperature may cause low, and even moderate of blue-light hazard risk for the eye. LEDs should be certified by the manufacturer to the appropriate security groups and marked according to standard PN-EN 62471. The application of the CE safety mark for the lamps should also take into account the photobiological safety.
