Exposure to short-wavelength light, particularly from white LED sources, is a concern due to its potential to disrupt mitochondria.

“When we use LEDs, the light found in LEDs, when we use them, certainly when we use them on the retiny looking at mice, we can watch the mitochondria gently go downhill. They're far less responsive. They their membrane potentials are coming down. The mitochondria are not breathing very well. Can watch that in real time.”

“I am very concerned about the fact that people are exposed to so much short wavelength, what's commonly referred to as blue light, but I don't think that really captures it because people hear the words blue light and they think, oh, if a if a light source looks appears blue, then that might be messing with my melatonin at night and might be messing with my mitochondria even. It's the white light coming from LED sources, which are basically what we use as lighting sources nowadays, that yes, they contain blue light, but they also contain, you know, violet light and stuff that doesn't appear blue because you've got the other wavelengths in there. In other words, white light coming from LEDs is very short wavelength enriched. To me, that's a problem. if short wavelength light is causing dysfunction of mitochondria and I do believe that's the case unless it's balanced by the longer wavelengths”

“And the opposite is also true. Too much time under just LED lights and not enough sunlight is damaging to mitochondria.”
