Blinded by the light?

The last thing a driver needs while heading down the road in the middle of the night is to have another car's headlights blinding their view. But are all headlights to blame? Research conducted in 2013 highlighted the fact that while LED lights are pitched as being friendly to the environment, it might not be the best idea to have them on the road. The Spanish study showed that the glare from LED bulbs can potentially damage the cells in the retina. As a result of the report, some experts called for a filter to be placed on the bulbs. The reason for having brighter LED lights on the road is to increase a driver바카라 게임 웹사이트™s ability to see better in low-visibility situations, but how does it affect other drivers? 온라인 바카라 게임5 in Cleveland spoke with Dr. Tom Chester who is the clinical director at the Cleveland Eye Clinic, about the situation. Dr. Chester said there바카라 게임 웹사이트™s been an increase in patients complaining about having trouble seeing at night or in the dark because of glares from headlights. 바카라 게임 웹사이트œIt creates discomfort. It can create irritation. It causes you to want to shy away from it, and so as a result, it can cause a lot of reflexes to kind of close the eye, dim the eye, look away,바카라 게임 웹사이트 said Dr. Chester. Federal regulations are in place to ensure drivers don바카라 게임 웹사이트™t have to squint every time someone passes, but it doesn바카라 게임 웹사이트™t always help. New York law, which was last updated in 2006, mandates the power of headlights not exceed 32 candlepower, which, according to the PoughKeepsie Journal, equates to the light produced by 32 candles. Some experts wonder if this regulation would be too low of a glare on the roads. Federal law is on a much higher scale. Depending on the lighting system of the vehicle, headlights are limited to about 20,000 to 75,000 candela, according to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108. One candlepower equals to about one candela. Representatives with some brands, such as Audi and BMW, say it has mastered the problem by creating an adaptive lighting system that adjusts the brightness when other drivers approach. While the technology is available in Europe, Americans might not see it as prevalent on the roads quite yet as a proposed rule change is still in the works to be approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
