RING LIGHTS GIVE YOU WRINKLES, SKIN CANCER AND MAKE YOU GO BLIND

Attention influencers and e-girls......

Those ring lights you are using every day to brighten your videos and reels and make your skin look good are really damaging your skin and eyes, quite possibly leading to skin cancer and various eye diseases and definitely giving you premature wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. 

In this article I am going to show you why ring lights are bad for your health and what to use instead that works even better and is healthier.

Lets get started.

The health problems they cause are twofold depending on WHEN you use the ring light and WHAT KIND of light is coming out of the ring light.

BAD HEALTH PROBLEM #1: USING RING LIGHTS AT THE WRONG TIME

The ring lights contain lots of bright blue and green light that trigger your circadian rhythm. That light signals your brain and body that it is day time. So if you are using ring lights at night, you are disrupting your circadian rhythm. Circadian rhythm disruption comes from having days that are too dark and nights that are too bright. Your brain and body believe it is night time instead of day time and instead of repairing and regenerating the damage from the day, they are stuck in alert mode and disease comes to your faster.

Don't take my word for it, ask Grok or pathetic Google about what chronically disrupting your circadian rhythm does to your health.


The good news is that the solution is easy.

DO NOT USE YOUR RING LIGHT AT NIGHT.

If for some crazy reason you must use a ring light at night, then make sure to be wearing a good pair of blue light blocking glasses to prevent that bright circadian rhythm disrupting light from going into your eyes! You can find my top 7 favorite blue and green light blocking glasses with video reviews here. 

Oh, one more thing, your skin also has a circadian rhythm and when bright light shines on your skin at night, its circadian rhythm gets disrupted which means that its repair and protection mechanisms dont work so well. This means that it might not repair the damage from earlier in the day or might nor be able to protect you from sun exposure the NEXT day and skin cancer will develop faster.

Heavy blue light, your ring light is loaded with it, can also induce skin cancer in general over time.


BAD HEALTH PROBLEM #2: THE LIGHT FROM THE RING LIGHT IS BAD FOR YOUR EYES AND SKIN

Light is information that your body uses to operate.

Light at the wrong time or the wrong kind of light can cause your body to operate badly.

The light that comes out of most of these ring lights is the wrong kind of light, light that is not healthy for your body, especially your skin.

Any kind of light has a light spectrum coming out of it. This light spectrum is kind of like the light's nutrient profile. It shows all the different colors in the particular light. Here's an example of what some of the most common light spectrums look like....



As you can see above, each kind of light has its own color code and some light codes are healthier than others.

Notice how sunlight and incandescent light have fuller and smoother spectrums whereas fluorescent and LED light are missing a lot of colors and have big color spikes.

Its the missing colors and SOME of the big color spikes that can be very unhealthy for you. 

Among other things, when you have too much blue and not enough red and infrared light shining on your skin and in your eyes, the light spectrum starts to hurt you.



Another bad health issue created by ring lights is the "blue light hazard". 

Lets look at the light spectrum for a typical ring light.


Do you see that giant spike of unopposed blue light, almost no red light and the lack of light spectrum in general? Not good for your health.

That blue light spike peaks at 450nm. That is very close to the worst or strongest part of the blue light hazard of which is where unopposed blue light kills most of your retinal cells in your eye.

Light in the blue light hazard range causes all sorts of problems for your eyes.



And we're not done yet....

Ring lights also have bad health inducing "flicker" too.


Now go take a look at the spectrum of sunlight above and compare it to the spectrum of the LED light. You'll see that in Nature, you never find blue light without an almost equal or greater amount of red of infrared light. But in many artificial led lights you do. 

This is what you are blasting in your face and on your skin every time you use a ring light.

So whats the solution?

You need to use a light with a different light spectrum duhhhhh.

Because you took the time to read this far, I am now going to show you two lights that work just as well as an unhealthy ring light but are much healthier for you and your skin plus have some extra benefits as well.

THE SKY PORTAL (See it here and code "bluelightdiet" will get you a discount)

The Sky Portal is very similar to a big ring light in terms of its power and the way it will light up your face and video but the light spectrum is different. 



It has adjustable controls on the back side of the light that let you control the brightness of the light and the light spectrum coming out of the light. 

So instead of having that big spike of blue light hazard light, hardly any red light and very little light in between like the ring light does.....you can use the control panel to balance the light spectrum, increase the red light and counter the blue spike with different light. Here's what a Sky Portal light spectrum looks like....

Notice it has a much fuller light spectrum, a lot more red light to balance the blue light and the spikes are out of the blue light hazard range and more in the range that triggers your circadian rhythm and in the violet range which is linked to mood regulation, hormonal balance, and mental clarity. It also has some healthy infrared light in the 830nm range which isnt shown on this meter.

Oh, and it has none of that crazy eye strain or headache inducing flicker too.

This is a much healthier light spectrum for you and your skin.

And the even better news is that you can also adjust the wavelengths to make this light a fully functioning SAD light for the winter blues or turn the light all the way red to use as a healthier, to have zero blue and less circadian rhythm disrupting light at night.

You can get a discount using the code "bluelightdiet" and replace your dummy ring light with the Sky Portal at this special link here http://www.bluelightdetox.com/chroma 

The second healthy light you can use instead of an unhealthy ring light is called a......

SKY PORTAL MINI

The Sky Portal Mini is not exactly like its big brother but it is similar. First of all its smaller, a little bigger than a big iphone.

It spits out much of the same kind of light wavelengths as the Sky Portal does. The type light can be adjusted to more of a SAD light, healthier ring light or night light.


I like the Sky Portal Mini because its very portable. You can take it with you on vacation or, if you're an e-girl influencer, just take it with to anywhere you are producing content.

You can find the Sky Portal Mini at the same place you find the Sky Portal and you can used the code "bluelightdiet" for a discount. Check it out here http://www.bluelightdetox.com/chroma 

Thats it!

Stop using the unhealthy ring light for your videos and photo shoots and start using the Sky Portals.
