data sheet fall into the class exempt group (exposure time 10000 s)
. Under real circumstances (for expo-
sure time, conditions of the eye pupils, observation distance), it is assumed that no endangerment to the
eye exists from these devices. As a matter of principle, however, it should be mentioned that intense light
sourceshaveahighsecondaryexposurepotentialduetotheirblindinge󰘯ect.Whenlookingatbrightlight
sources (e.g. headlights), temporary reduction in visual acuity and afterimages can occur, leading to irrita-
tion, annoyance, visual impairment, and even accidents, depending on the situation.
