Huberman Lab
Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

Okay.

Huberman Lab
Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

And I think that it's a very important point because I have gone through so many ethics committees to shine long wavelength light.

Huberman Lab

to do various things, including on people that they've got problems and they've got sight problems, they're patients.

Huberman Lab

We've actually also done it with children.

Huberman Lab

And we've got through ethics committees really with very, very little comment because on many of the ethics committees, they're physicists and they understand the issue.

Huberman Lab
Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

Yeah.

Huberman Lab

And then beyond 900 is infrared.

Huberman Lab
Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

Right.

Huberman Lab

So we've got the near infrared and we've got the infrared.

Huberman Lab
Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

Now, you're right.

Huberman Lab

We've got to start kind of โ€“ we've got to start โ€“

Huberman Lab

defining these terms a little bit more clearly.

Huberman Lab

But I think for nearly all of the research we're talking about, we're talking about where vision stops, which is around 700, and we're talking about the near infrared, which is, for practical purposes, is going up to around 900.

But, you know, I remember doing an experiment with UV once, and it was an experiment, bizarre experiment, trying to work out if a reindeer could see

UV light.

Huberman Lab
Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

Do they?

Huberman Lab
Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

Yeah, they do actually.

Huberman Lab

But then while we were doing the experiment, I was beginning to say, look, I'm not believing any of this data because I can see this flashing now.

Huberman Lab

And as it was pointed out to me, you will see wavelengths of light that you shouldn't see if you just turn the energy up.

Huberman Lab

So if I put you in a room with UV and I pump loads of energy into that UV, you'll see things that you shouldn't.
