SAFETY OF LEDS USED

In the paper the photobiological risks were estimated on basis of literature reports and own researches. The evaluation was made on the 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.
