Andrew Huberman just explained why the switch from old incandescent bulbs to modern LEDs might be quietly messing with our biology. Short-wavelength light (blue/green) dominates LEDs and screens. Long-wavelength light (red/infrared) — the kind that reaches deeper into the body — is largely missing. He cited work from Glenn Jeffery’s lab at University College London showing that long-wavelength light improves mitochondrial function, boosts ATP production, blunts blood glucose spikes, and can even improve vision. Incandescent bulbs and sunlight naturally provide this balance; LEDs do not. Long-wavelength light is absorbed by water in mitochondria, enhancing electron transport chain efficiency and reducing oxidative stress. Studies show improved glucose regulation and mitochondrial performance when red/infrared exposure is added, especially in the absence of excessive short-wavelength light at night. Huberman isn’t anti-LED, but he’s clear: our modern environment is short-wavelength heavy and long-wavelength deficient, and that mismatch may be contributing to metabolic and sleep issues, particularly in younger generations glued to screens. Have you noticed a difference in energy, sleep, or focus when you get more natural sunlight versus heavy indoor LED/screen exposure? Or do you still think the light itself is a minor factor compared to content? Your thoughts 👇

THE CONTRASTING EFFECTS OF BLUE AND RED/NIR LIGHT ON THE MITOCHONDRIA. - Recent research published this year in Nature: Scientific Reports demonstrates the effects that light in the built environment has on human health. Our modern build environment is dominated by short-wavelength light from LEDs and fluorescent lighting. This can have deleterious effects on the mitochondria. Adding to this effect is the lack of long-wavelength light from sources like the sun and incandescent lighting bulbs. These long light wavelengths have a beneficial effect on mitochondria function and overall human health. The lack of them in our modern built environment, seems to be impacting public health in a delirious fashion. Two recent papers to read: 1. 2.

Dr. Andrew Huberman just confirmed a “wild conspiracy theory” about incandescent lights and LED bulbs. The long wavelengths found in incandescents increase your metabolism and “charge your mitochondria.” Conversely, the LED bulbs that most of you have in your house are “causing disruptions in mitochondrial function.” DR. ANDREW HUBERMAN: “Your mitochondria function better, you increase ATP production, your metabolism increases in the presence of red light, long wavelength light to the skin.” “Shine long wavelength light on somebody, watch blood glucose levels in a blood glucose test, and it’s blunted.” “Now, the LED lights that are commonly used now… that short wavelength light, in the absence of long wavelength light, has been shown to damage the mitochondria.” “This used to be considered crazy. This was like chemtrail crazy, right?” “But now we’re starting to see from animal studies and human studies, from Glenn Jeffreys and others, that people’s vision gets better when they get in front of an incandescent bulb once a day.” “If they get sunlight, which also has long-wavelength light, your vision improves because of improvements in mitochondria.” The Biden administration quietly pushed incandescents out of the market through aggressive energy regulations. But you can still find them online today if you look hard enough. If that health insight stood out to you, there’s a lot more where that came from.

Andrew Huberman recently told Bill Maher something that sounds wild — that the long-wavelength red and infrared light present in sunlight and old incandescent bulbs actually passes through your body, charges your mitochondria, improves your vision, and helps regulate blood sugar. And that the short-wavelength-dominant LED lights now in most of our homes may be quietly undermining mitochondrial function. His words: 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘻𝘺.

Professor Glen Jeffery at University College London — one of the researchers Huberman specifically names — published a study in 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤 𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘴 in July 2025 confirming that infrared wavelengths from sunlight measurably pass through the human torso, even through clothing, and that just 15 minutes of exposure improved color vision by 16% (blue axis) and 9% (red axis) in participants — measured 24 hours later, even when light was blocked from their eyes during exposure. A separate study from the same lab showed that red light exposure reduced post-meal blood glucose spikes by 27%. These aren't fringe blogs. This is University College London published in Nature's Scientific Reports. The mechanism Huberman describes checks out. Your mitochondria contain water that absorbs long-wavelength red and infrared light — the same reason reds disappear when you go underwater. That absorption drives better ATP production, the energy currency of your cells. The retina has more mitochondria per cell than almost any other tissue in the body, which is why vision improvements show up as such a clean measurable signal. 𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲.

Outdoors sunlight delivers near-infrared at levels no bulb can match. Even 15 minutes outside — clothed — appears sufficient to trigger measurable effects. If you work near a window, that helps too. For indoor lighting, not all LEDs are equal. Look for "full spectrum" or "broad spectrum" LED bulbs that include wavelengths in the 600–900 nm range. "Warm white" LEDs (2700–3000K color temperature) are closer to incandescent output and include more red-spectrum light than the cool blue-dominant bulbs.

Red light from sunlight doesn’t just feel good — it literally charges your mitochondria like tiny batteries. Andrew Huberman explains: Long-wavelength red & near-infrared light penetrates the body, supports mitochondrial function, and gets absorbed by the water surrounding them — the same way oceans absorb red light and reflect blue. “Mini oceans” inside every cell get a boost from sunlight exposure. 29 seconds that make you rethink your morning routine. How often do you get natural morning sunlight — and have you noticed any difference in energy or mood when you do?

I've been recommending incandescent light bulbs. But what about your kitchen? Your bathroom? Incandescents don't fit most of those fixtures. The answer: halogen bulbs. Glen Jeffery, UCL: "In the kitchen I have got a halogen lamp. When you get up in the morning and you're spending that 45 minutes doing stuff — there's a halogen lamp there on at the right time." Halogen is a type of incandescent. Almost identical full spectrum output. Infrared included. The key difference: Halogen bulbs contain halogen gas that redeposits tungsten back onto the filament as it evaporates — longer lifespan, same full spectrum output. The result: longer lifespan than a standard incandescent, higher operating temperature, and slightly whiter light — but still full spectrum with significant infrared output. Like incandescents, halogen bulbs have been phased out and banned across much of Europe and the UK. But they can still be found — Amazon, specialist lighting suppliers, some hardware stores still carry stock. And if you can dim them: "If you just turn the power down — which increases the amount of infrared light — the bulb will last almost forever." Jeffery's team ran a study in a windowless UCL building under harsh LED lighting. They replaced desk lamps with 40W incandescent bulbs — not aimed at eyes, just supplementing the environment. Two weeks later: color perception improved significantly — more than anything they'd seen with long-wavelength LEDs. They removed the bulbs. Came back six days later. The improvement was maintained. A month later — still maintained. Jeffery: "We are suffering from a suppression of our physiology via mitochondria that is just being produced by the built environment." The fix doesn't have to be complicated. Incandescent bulbs where you can. Halogen in the kitchen and bathroom where you can't. Indoor lighting environment sorted.

Announcing LUMIOS, the world's first human-friendly LED. Powered by revolutionary Ra Incandescent LED technology, Lumios addresses the problems of conventional LED lighting. 1. excess blue light -> low / optimized blue light • Conventional LEDs emit excessive blue light, threatening the eyes, chronically overstimulating the hormonal & nervous systems, and disrupting sleep and cellular repair. • Lumios uses advanced LED chips and light conversion technology to smooth the spectrum, reducing unnatural blue spikes and offering a low-blue, hormonally neutral spectrum, which supports balance and rejuvenation. 2. near-infrared absence -> near-infrared enriched • Conventional LEDs completely lack the near-infrared wavelengths which are essential for eyes, skin, and cellular health. • Lumios utilizes advanced phosphor technology to emit significant quantities of near-infrared light, comparable to a traditional incandescent bulb, and more than any broadband visible LED ever made. 3. poor color rendering -> ultra-high color rendering • Conventional LEDs emit a deficient spectrum which causes people and objects to appear pale, dull, and lifeless. • Lumios’ broad spectrum offers the highest color rendering ever achieved with an LED — almost identical to a standard incandescent bulb — so you can experience people and objects in their true colors. Everything looks and feels better. 4. AC flicker -> flicker-free • Conventional LEDs utilize cheap circuitry which carries AC voltage onto the light source, causing a rapid sub-perceptible flicker which has been linked to migraine headaches and cognitive disturbance. • Lumios utilizes high-quality circuitry to remove AC flicker, allowing your brain and nervous system to relax — while allowing you to think clearly and perform your best. 5. excessive brightness -> multi-modal design • Standard LEDs are typically far too bright, optimized for maximum brightness and efficiency rather than visual comfort. • Lumios utilizes an advanced multi-modal design — compatible with standard light switches — providing you with optimal light for every space, setting, and time of day. Lumios unifies the biological benefits of the classic incandescent spectrum with the technological capabilities of LED technology, making it the most advanced light ever created. Experience a new light. Available now.

🚨 WARNING: Your LED bulbs are MAKING YOU SICK from the inside out – Time to THROW THEM AWAY! 🚨 - **Blue Light's Deadly Toll**: Studies show prolonged exposure to blue light from LEDs accelerates aging, disrupts sleep by suppressing melatonin, and is linked to higher risks of cancer, diabetes, heart disease & obesity. One study found a direct connection to increased breast & prostate cancer risks from nighttime blue light. It even damages retinal cells & makes your skin hypersensitive. - **Red Light's Healing Power**: Unlike LEDs, traditional incandescent bulbs emit restorative red & infrared light that boosts cellular energy, reduces inflammation & promotes healing. Red light therapy improves skin complexion in over 90% of users, smooths wrinkles, enhances hair growth & even aids cognition & chronic pain relief. - **The Ban Conspiracy**: Incandescent bulbs – mimicking natural sunlight with healthy infrared – were phased out worldwide under "energy efficiency" pretexts, forcing LEDs that disrupt circadian rhythms & suppress melatonin for poor sleep & health decline. Was this to keep us sick & dependent? Critics call it a hidden agenda ignoring LEDs' blue light harms. Switch to incandescent or red-spectrum alternatives TODAY. Your body will thank you. Have you ditched LEDs yet? Reply below! List of LED bulb alternatives are linked below in replies...

Glen Jeffery studies red & infrared light at UCL. Here's what he has on his desk: Two 100W incandescent bulbs on a dimmer switch. When asked what people should do to get more red & infrared: "I go back to the same point every time. Sunlight. Go out in sunlight." Even if it's cloudy — there's loads of infrared light. It bounces around more because it gets bounced around by water in the atmosphere. Trees reflect it too — that's why leaves feel cool on a hot day even in direct sun. And if you're spending long hours indoors: "Spend £10 on Amazon. Buy a dimmer switch and a 100W incandescent light bulb. Run it at quarter power. It'll last forever. It'll give you vast amounts of infrared light. And it will counteract the negative side you get from your blue LEDs. It works. We've done it." When the leading researcher studying red & infrared light professionally uses 100W incandescents at his desk not a panel — that tells you something. Nature is always the first option. A 100W incandescent on a dimmer is the second.

This is why you should never use LED lights in your home. LED lights are in almost every household but what if I told you they’re slowly making you sick every single day? Traditional light sources like the sun, fire, and even old school incandescent bulbs emit infrared light, which actually boosts cellular energy and repair. But LEDs? They expose you only to blue light. And studies show that prolonged exposure accelerates aging, disrupts neurotransmitters in the brain, and impairs your mitochondria. No wonder so many people feel constantly tired and drained indoors. Niko Instagram Twitter Patreon

Here is a video from when I got my Shelby electric incandescent light bulb from 1901 this is the same type of bulb as the centennial bulb which has been constantly burning since 1901 in Livermore California the filament in this bulb is made of carbon and it is 5 times thicker than modern filament. Hearing that the incandescent is about to be or already has been phased out because of inefficiency reminds me of this video and the Shelby light bulb these were made to last forever and a bulb that lasts forever will not be thrown away and the materials will still be in use vs a modern incandescent or light bulb where the materials are just thrown out never to be seen again. Enjoy 🙂

This is pretty crazy 👀. Excess blue light exposure can cause fragmentation of mitochondria in the retina leading to increased oxidative stress and retinal thinning. (all references in the newsletter linked in thread).

Dave Asprey just made me want to rip out every light bulb in my house. He revealed that the US basically made traditional incandescent bulbs illegal to sell last year (with fines up to $440 per bulb for companies that break the rule), forcing everyone toward harsh, bright white LEDs and fluorescent lights that quietly mess with your brain, cause brain fog, and accelerate aging. Studio lighting in particular is brutal. Asprey wears special glasses on set that block the toxic part of blue light, and he swears the difference in how his brain feels at the end of the day is massive. His simple fix? Ditch the harsh blue light. Use warm 2700K bulbs, add dimmer switches, and get as close as possible to the old incandescent glow your body actually likes. He stocked up on thousands of incandescent bulbs right before they became illegal to sell. (Note: While selling incandescent bulbs is now banned in the US and similar phase-outs have happened in the EU, Canada, and other countries, owning and using the ones you already have is still perfectly legal.) Have you switched to warmer lighting at home yet, or are you still living under harsh cool-white LEDs? Noticed any difference in energy or mental clarity?

All sex hormone synthesis originates in the inner mitochondrial membrane, where an enzyme called P450scc cleaves a hydrocarbon chain from cholesterol to form pregnenolone. That means same cholesterol your physician (erroneously) says will kill you is what your body uses to make testosterone. Moreover, P450scc absorbs light. Why would an enzyme that acts inside the mitochondria respond to a blue wavelength of light that can never reach that far inside the body? Because the blue light that energizes P450scc is coming from inside the body. It is produced by the mitochondria itself. The implications of this understanding are massive. To maintain high sex hormone levels as you age, you must have high levels of LDL cholesterol and healthy, active mitochondria. Cold plunge therapy not only stimulates mitobiogenesis for production of new mitochondria, but also creates light -- e.g., inside brown adipose tissue (BAT) -- that energize the enzymes responsible for steroidogenesis. You might have heard online that there is no way to stop the inevitable decline of total testosterone as you age. I'm telling you that's bullshit.

This new LIFI wireless network works with LIGHT (li-fi light-fidelity) instead of radio waves it transmits data through 'trigger light' from LED LIGHT BULBS.... Do you realise now why they made incandescent bulbs 'obsolete?' Not only that, it is said we cannot see the flicker in this light (many actually can and can't use led bulbs)....because it is over 60 HERTZ. What are the biological effects on the body at 60hz and above?..... Credit 📽 @hetcbor IG
