I whiny environment hating complainer... or something like that...
Wanna know why? Because LED bulbs give me migraines.
Oh yes, I'm so horrible for not wanting to go blind. I'm severely Photophobic, for those of you who don't know. Even if I wanted to use LED bulbs, and i don't, I couldn't. Why? Because light triggers my migraines.
And I'm very prone to those in general, even without constant exposure. That being said I work with LED bulbs but the natural light from outside pretty much overpowers those little things. If we didn't have windows and that was the only source of light, then I wouldn't be working there.
Anyway, just what the flying fuck was that about exactly? Because I don't want my head to explode, I'm horrible person who hates the environment?
Either that or I'm using the wrong kind/color spectrum. The only LED lights I can stand are totally non-powerful Christmas lights within the blue spectrum... maybe red, sometimes green, it really just depends but I've never had an issue with blue.
Still, do you think I'm gonna make my future home have blue lighting for the convenience of your personal satisfaction? Fuck no.
And industrial? Those are fucking worse! I'd rather take the cheap LED's any day than be subjected to industrial.
Examples of how I'm photophobic:
- I can't leave the house without sunglasses and if I do then I've learned to walk blind to my car.
- I can hardly get on this site during dusk and night time without wanting to bash my head against the wall because it's too bright.
- My aunt has them all over her house and hardly keeps any of them on because she hates them (yeah, turns out she's photophobic too).
- They are used in schools. I hated school and that was a big reason. No wonder I was always in the nurses office.
- Strobe lights. Doesn't matter if they're strobing or not, even just as a light it hurts.
- The sun.
- And generally any exposure to a powerful light is painful to me. Even when dimmed they still hurt. Why? I don't know. Maybe it has to do with the buzzing and dimmed light that makes everything look sepia and I end up zoning out or passing out as a result. Actually, dimmed as worse. I hate passing out because the dimmed lights make me dizzy... same things with candle light by the way. I hate it because of the lighting, it hurts my eyes.
I just hate dimmed light, powerful lights, white lights, and basically anything that isn't incandescent.
It doesn't mean I hate the environment. It just means I value not having my brain explode.
Assholes, assuming things about me just because I'm light sensitive. It's a medical condition, you think I like it this way? Believe me, I would love it if I could go outside and not have to collect sweat and steam around my eyes because I have to wear sunglasses that not only cover the front but the sides too. Otherwise the sun would blind me from the side and that's annoying.
Anyway, sweat collects around my eyes because of that... but it's better than going blind.
I really hate this. I also hate it when people say I should "deal with it" for the sake of the environment and that I'm a horrible selfish person for doing anything otherwise. Rot in hole, dipshits!

Completely and totally understandable. I'm not as bad off as you when it comes to lights, but they have been known to trigger my migraines. I know someone else like this as well.

"jhjf;jjn;afkn;kln;klnnkl;nl kkkkkkklkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk;kna;f'k" - It means "I Love You" in Skyelynn.
I'm mildly light sensitive like that, staying out in the sun too long triggers mine off. It's understandable enough O.o
Seriously though the environment? You know why they save energy? Those light bulbs? They don't fucking work -.- Ignore them, your health is more important than "your bit" in saving the environment....imo.
^ Seriously.
Not only that but they even said something about how many different types and settings you can try out for LED's... well why would I want to do that when incandescent are exactly what I want and are far more practical?
