    I've read 1 article, ( so far, uncorraborated ) that LED lighting puts out a wave form that is not compatible with the human body insofar as the way the wave form enters the body and and affects our nervous system.
    As opposed to the rays of the sun that can be both beneficial ( vitamin D ) and non-beneficial ( skin cancer )
    Not crazy to think the wave form affects other systems as well.
    I cannot find the article right now , but will see if I locate it for conversation purposes.

    More and more we're seeing issues with various electronics impacting AIS and GPS and compasses. Now, it's LED and it makes sense that if it's powerful enough and located right it could. Fortunately, we've not had the problem.
