Blue LEDs and eye safety?

[dieselducy]

i am looking at an arctic laser and it says the colour temp of the lite can be dangerous. I was wondering i have a lite with a royal blue with the colour of 447nm. is there any danger looking directly into the light?

LED stands for light emitting diode and they arent anything to do with the artic laser your looking at, this should really be posted in the laser forum.

But I too have been looking at them and decided to not get one for fear of my own safety and others around, the blue wavelength can seriously damamge your vision.

Have a read and wickedlasers website about the H&S

yeah i know the laser is dangerous but what about the LED flashlight? it is a royal blue 447NM led, can staring directly into the led cause any eye issues?
