Subject: Re: LED's and laser safety?



Gary, I was recently in conversation with UL about LEDs whereas I am 
now being told that UL has convinced the European counterparts that 
LEDs are no longer considered Class I Lasers and the requirements for 
them to be tested as such has been dropped.  UL no longer treats them 
that way in their CB Reports.
