This actually made me lol.

So a solution I use is a strip of paper, 5mm wide by <1cm long tuck one end under the transparent light diffuser and the other under the black box with the FW teams names to secure the paper barrier between LED and diffuser, use tape if needed to secure paper.

@anon81945988 Your light sensor will measure the total energy received, whereas it is the fact that it is highly concentrated in this small LED that is harmful. Also, the human eye is typically more sensitive than a smartphone camera in a dark environment, precisely because the pupil is then completely open to adapt to the lack of light.

Moreover my argument about the circadian cycles have been splendidly ignored. LEDs really do disturb it a lot, if of the wrong color.

Please don’t. Lol. Don’t compare that to the 5G craziness. On one hand you have EU recommandations that support many ophtalmologists associations which themselves warn against light from cheap blue LEDs. On the other hand you have a conspiracy theory supported by nobody serious enough. So, yeah, no thank you.
