Low EMF full spectrum daylight bulbs

Catherine
These bulbs are recommended by Nick Pineault (The EMF Guy).  They emit low EMFs and they don’t flicker.  I can vouch for them emitting low EMFs (about the same as the halogen bulbs I used to have).  I can’t tell if they flicker, but I trust Nick Pineault’s judgement.

They’ve got 3 settings which emit varying amounts of blue light for morning, afternoon and evening.  It’s easy to switch between the settings – you just press the light switch.

 I don’t know how long they last as I’ve only had mine a few weeks.  At £28 each, they’re not cheap, but they seem to be improving the quality of my sleep so I think they’re worth it for me.

They’re sold by Block Blue Light, a company which has a distributor in the UK.  Here’s a link to the page:

I find that these "Block Blue Light" bulbs create radio interference AND increase dirty electricity. I think the best LED light bulbs sold today (from our standpoint) are the "LED filament bulbs", which look very much like an old incandescent light bulb, made of glass and metal, no plastic. All of the ones I've tried generate no radio interference and no dirty electricity. I've tested such bulbs from both WaveForm Lighting and FEIT, both good.

Hi Marc

I wish I'd posted a message on here about these before a spent a fortune on them!

How did you measure for radio interference and dirty electricity?  

Thanks very much

Cath

For radio interference, I use a small (and old) AM radio a few inches from the light bulb.  Turn the light on and off, and see if there are any changes to what you hear on the AM radio.  Ideally there should be none, as ideally the bulb should not interfere with the reception.

For dirty electricity, I use a Stetzerizer dirty electricity meter, plugged into the outlet next to where the light is plugged in (for this, I have small lamp with a cord that I can test light bulbs with).  Again, turning on and off the light should ideally not change the values on the meter.

Although I didn't test the exact same bulb you have, as mine was a USA bulb (120 volts not 220 volts), and mine was a BR30 (reflector) shape not an A19 shape. So your results could be different than mine.
