Hi Peggy, recently I was driving after dark on a freeway under construction & a police car was sitting alongside with ALL of the lights flashing. Well, it blinded me to the point where I couldnt see where I was going for several seconds, which scared the daylights out of me, no pun intended. Im wondering if all those new blinky light the cops have now are LEDs. Whatever they are they are a total safety hazard.
Seriously one of the only ones that Ive seen report on this. Impressive report. Thanks for sharing this. My mother and I have noticed this and its become very difficult to drive at night. Because it really is an issus of unnatural light that affects our eyes. Compared to candle light and natural sunlight. As a photographer you can see this as in why lenses would use filters to block out such light. Especially blue light. This extreme HID LED light seems to have been a trend in all car companies now without realizing its effects.
God bless you for this. Great report and catching this for public attention.
Hey there Peggy, my husband and I are out in the mountains of n.e. Washington with the folks that like bar lights on their trucks rollbar/headache racks...blinding bright and all their other lights too...nasty even in daylight
Peggy, yes, I have definitely "noticed" ie: been blinded by the new car lights. I have worn sunglasses too but now I use blue blockers that are for night time and really help with the glare and for driving in the rain at night.

One important distinction here is that those lights which seem to scatter the beam into a halo of radiating blueish lines are not LED's, they're HID's, high intensity discharge. They're awful and should be straightout banned. LEDs are awful too but bearable if set/focussed properly. I actively dislike them because the light is sterile and tiring, I have halogens.
Behind all this is unawareness of quality light, if we were to discuss the problem of car's lights it would inevitably extend to our home lighting and that plot/psyop is well in place..

Oh wow, I thought it was just me. Yes, the lights are absolutely brutal these days. But not sure the government can ever be trusted to regulate anything anymore. Might need to have industry standards for functional safety.

Thank you for bringing this subject up! Yes, to answer your question, those new headlights certainly ARE blinding! i live in SW Pa. where there are a lot of twisty windy roads, and even when i look at the edge of the road instead of directly in front of me, i have a hard time recovering my sight. i have even pulled over to allow a vehicle that is behind me to pass so i don't have to get blinded from both directions. i tried ordering those night vision glasses, but those are a joke, they just make everything look yellow but you still get blasted with glare. Needless to say, i rarely drive at night unless i absolutely have to.
Thank you, Peggy, for addressing this issue! I have heard and read that the transition to LED's is part of the control grid implementation and that LED's are needed for the tracking system. I totally believe it, b/c the govt. always lies to us telling us that what they do is for our benefit or the benefit of the planet, when we all know there's always an ulterior motive that's attached to their nefarious agendas.
We have used only Chromalux full spectrum incandescent lighting in our home for years, which used to be available at various sites, but now seems to only be found at www.healthlighting.com. They are much more expensive bulbs, but so worth it. Somehow the company had an exemption from the incandescent bulb ban - maybe b/c they are specialty bulbs.
I wear blue light blocking glasses (basically they're orange colored) when I drive at night - it makes it soooo much easier on my eyes and to drive. Light pollution is very real and affects plants too - trees don't want light at night, they want to get deep rest and stop photosynthesizing. I'm always horrified by christmas lights continuously stimulating a beloved tree in people's yards.
I have been complaining about this for years. I hate that they have pushed for LED lights even in our homes. Way way way too bright and driving at night is a big challenge. I don't really drive at night anymore because of this and only if I absolutely have to.
My husband and I were out after dark the other night, and we experienced this same thing. I was driving, and I found the lights to be very annoying -- way too bright and distracting. I think the LED lights should definitely be banned.
yes. They are painful and require strategies such as using a hand to block the light from hitting the eyes. One of my friends can no longer drive at night because of this. Seatbelts on all new cars are mandatory. There should be national legislation and a recall on the existing "too bright" headlights.

The police are the worst offenders.

Thank you Peggy. This is such a major issue. That no body barely is addressing. Thank you for publishing such an important report…
