LED Incident Reports
March 24, 2025 – Springfield, OR – Electromagnetic Sensitivity
LEDs are disruptive and they are found everywhere, from your very own personal factory car to the street lamps on every street you journey. I for one am tired of the blue lights that I have been told are “broken” in my own township of Springfield, OR.
No one seems to care that something that is considered “broken” has gone unfixed. I have shared my concerns with the local officials, anywhere from the Mayor’s chat on Instagram to directly contacting our local electric company, SUB, who is in charge of them. The message is “we’re working on it”, “be patient with us”, “this was approved”, “it’s gonna be fine”, “we’ll fix things when we can”. And here we are two years later and the “broken” blue lights have remained.
These lights on cars cause me night blindness, force my husband and myself to switch between brights and dims as a way of expressing to other drivers on the road that were are considerate of other drivers–it’s just our dims look like brights because our car is so tall (and this affects others even in the same kind of car as us). These blinding lights can cause accidents and are very dangerous for this reason.
I know that blue light affects people because it affects me. My mood shifts to somber and dull. I feel ill and just want to get away from the area as fast as possible.
These lights must be removed and we want our soft yellow incandescent bulbs back that do not cause the light pollution that these bulbs have caused our civilization to suffer. Remove all the LEDs and even outlaw their production, as they cause more harm than good to every person who comes into contact with them.

The US Department of Energy describes LEDs as radically new technology with a directional light and unique characteristics. It is these features that make LED light so harmful. Traditional light sources radiate the light outward. LEDs focus the light into a beam. Because LEDs emit a directional beam of focused light, the light does not disperse gently over distance, so even from far away, LED light is extremely intense. LED light is exceedingly dense in the middle of the beam, but the density is near zero at the edges. The unique characteristics of LED light include the directional beam, non-uniform spatial distribution, unnatural spectral power distribution, square wave flicker, and digital flashing. Each individual and creature reacts differently to the different characteristics. There are little or no government regulations for any of this.
