Climate Change, Fluorescent Lighting, and Eye Disease: A Little Too Light on the Science
August 8th, 2012
Last month, researchers from the State University of New York at Stony Brook showed in a paper that tiny defects in the bulbs can let through UV light that can damage skin cells and lead to cancer.

A new study suggests that certain types of the energy-saving lightbulbs can become damaged and then may hurt skin cells
July 20th, 2012
Researchers at Stony Brook University in New York State discovered healthy skin exposed to light from CFL bulbs experienced the same kind of damage that is found with ultraviolet radiation.

According to the recent opinion of the Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCEHNIR), there already existsuitable alternatives to incandescent bulbs for all light-sensitive patients, including certain halogen bulbs, compact fluorescent lamps and light-emitting diode lamps.

Taken together, our results confirm
that UV radiation emanating from CFL bulbs (randomly selected from different suppliers) as a
result of defects or damage in the phosphorus coating is potentially harmful to human skin.
