I get migraines on very rare occasions but those signs pi***d me right off, there not even just in the corner of your eye they're just below the centre of your field of vision when looking straight at the pitch, I wish they put old fashioned solid cardboard advertising boards facing us and had the LED ones facing the pitch. |

thats assuming that information was for indoor, the paper i copied it from was just talking about LEDs there was a stat later on the explicitly said indoors so i assume the rest is just general indoor and out,
"The other main risk is from glare. The report say that, for indoor lighting, it is generally agreed that luminance higher than 10,000 cd/m² causes visual discomfort whatever the position of the lighting unit in the field of vision. Because the emission surfaces of LEDs are highly-concentrated point sources, the luminance of each individual source can be 1000 times higher than the discomfort level. The level of direct radiation from this type of source can therefore easily exceed the level of visual discomfort." |

to whoever earlier on said LEDs dont cause fits:
The use of artificial lighting has laid claim to a wide range of light sensitive symptoms that are aggravated by their use including:
- xeroderma pigmentosum
- lupus
- migraine
- epilepsy
- myalgic encephalomyelitis (aka chronic fatigue syndrome)
- Irlen-Meares syndrome (aka scotopic syndrome)
- fibromyalgia
- electrosensitivity
- dyspraxia
- autism/asperger syndrome
- retinal diseases, such as ageâ€related macular degeneration (AMD)
- chronic actinic dermatitis,
- solar urticaria
Effects of Light — Migraine
Migraine can be defined as an intense pulsing or throbbing pain in one area of the head. It is often accompanied by extreme sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and vomiting. Migraine is three times more common in women than in men.
It is estimated that 14% of the adults in Europe have migraine (Stovner et al. 2006). According to self-reported information, certain visual patterns can reliably trigger a migraine attack, such as high contrast striped patterns or flickering lights. Fluorescent lamps can cause eye-strain and headache (Wilkins et al. 1991). Patients with migraine show somewhat lowered flicker fusion thresholds during migraine-free periods. In addition, photophobia, which is an abnormal perceptual sensitivity to light experienced by most patients with headache during and also between attacks, is documented in many studies.
and to the guy blaming the sun last time i checked it did not flicker :D |

better yet maybe they could start handing erythropoietin to players in the tunnel to stop them cramping up |

i just wonder if that would change if someone's life was put in danger due to a fit, and what sort of compensation would be paid out by the club and whether they wish they actually took notice of the complaints for once,
even the stewards by us were complaining about it aswell as the cameramen, most of them moved as there was glares or cameras or something |

no, however there are no health and safety regulations on "bright LED lights 2 meters away from my f***ing face" so i found the next closest thing, both could cause a seizure so what difference does it make |
