"What about the affect on the eyes? Do these cause damage like regular LEDs?"

That's my concern, also. I have a brother who has gone blind in one eye from retinal damage.

Discussion. A commercial market will inevitably grow around any human condition with profit potential. For the best protection of health and pocketbooks, consumers should maintain vigilance about the facts and skepticism about anything that doesn’t pass the
test of reason.

Ahh, well there are dimmer LED bulbs. The Waveform Lighting "40 watt equivalent" LED filament bulb seems perfectly fine to me, and comes in color temperatures as low as 2400K! Also on Amazon there is a "Bedtime bulb" that
appears to be a filament bulb (it's frosted on the outside, so hard to say) that is about the same brightness and has a similar color temperature. And both of these bulbs cause zero interference on my AM radio (unlike the non-filament bulbs). So I think
I'm going to start using these, as I've had all incandescent and/or halogen incandescent up to this point.
