Temporary visual impairment from LEDs in toys

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The use of LEDs in consumer products including toys is rapidly increasing. The LEDs bring a visual appeal to the toy and choosing the appropriate LED is important to avoid the risk of injury to the child, especially with the development of more efficient, higher power LEDs. This has led to the need for an easy to follow methodology for the assessment of the optical radiation safety of LEDs in toys that may be adopted by toy manufactures when evaluating the suitability of an LED. Additional safety considerations of temporary visual impairment from ocular safe LEDs in toys will be presented.
