my wife works have just replaced all their bulbs with Daylight LEDs
Immediately everyone working there has got terrible headaches that
last about twenty four hours. The whole staff from managers down.

Any nasty vapours being given off by the lights or the power supplies? Varnish on circuit boards overheating?

Anything in the building been disturbed? EG Could there be a leaky boiler flue above a ceiling, which has been disturbed to install the lights, and CO is now getting into the workplace?

Owain

I changed ALL of our lights to daylight ones and it's one of the best
things I've ever done. The light is far more pleasant and superior.
We haven't had a headache since the change.


For 'daylight' I prefer 4000K - 4500K (nominally moonlight in thickypedia).
It is bright and clear without any trace of blueness. So far I've found only
3 lamps in this range: 3W, 320lm; 4W, 600lm and one that I have bookmarked
BCBA to look (the last pint, at 9%, does that to me!).

I see.
