Light is further up the energy-line of electromagnetic radiation.
Least-dangerous -- Radio / Infrared / Visible Light / Ultraviolet / XRays / Gamma Rays -- Most energy/dangerous
All light-bulbs, screens, LEDs (etc. etc.) emit visible light. There's a couple of bands in there that might be more dangerous than others (ex: Microwaves specifically resonate with water), but for the most part, Gamma Rays are the most dangerous, and Radiowaves have the least effect on our body.

- ncmncm 5y agoFalse. Again.
- Gnarl 5y ago@dragontamer: "Radiowaves have the least effect on our body" - but what happens when you modulate them at a secondary, low frequency, that disturbs voltage-gated cell-membrane ion-channels? Just hoping to pique your curiosity into the field of biology and away from hyper-reductionistic physics models.
- dragontamer 5y ago> that disturbs voltage-gated cell-membrane ion-channels? You're begging the question. You could have more easily stated your opinion as "low frequency radio waves disturb cells". Which is fundamentally false. There are lots of radio-waves being used around the world: RADAR systems, Radio-headquarter units... as well as people who live nearby radio-towers (TV, AM Radio, FM Radio), and cell phones. Do you think WW2 units fielded with SCR-300 (World War 2 backpack radio) had increased amounts of cell membrane damage associated with them? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ca/Scr300.png https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ca/Scr300.p...
