Eli5: My bicycle light warns of radiation if you stare directly at the light. Why isn’t simply touching or being next to it an issue?
In: Physics
This might be a bad translation or bad wording. It’s extremely unlikely that a bicycle light would emit harmful (ionizing) radiation other than light. Light is technically radiation, so that’s where the translation error may come in. Chances are they’re just telling you not to look directly at a bright light source.
