This forum = Tons of folks who each own multiple LED lights.
If eye damage was a real problem, we would have heard about it by now.
As for the Streamlight warning that dano brought up.... I'm thinking a lawyer in their legal dept. came up with the idea for putting that on their lights to prevent a lawsuit. You know, like the warning on fast food coffee cups that say "Caution: Contents are very hot." Ever since that one elderly idiot burned herself and then sued because the coffee was too hot. (BTW, I'm very familiar with the details of that case. And I still say it was her own fault).
LEDs cause eye damage,
Cellphones cause brain cancer,
French fries cause hear attackes,
And 3 out of 3 people will die.... sometime during their lifetime.
The horror, the horror.... :ironic:

I think I need to clarify my post a bit. It just annoys me when people make unfounded claims. To say LEDs are dangerous without being able to cite a source where others could research the info for themselves, just plain annoying. It's one thing to say, "I won't use LEDs because I feel they're dangerous." It's another to make one's opinion sound like fact.
