LEDs could still have all the same issues, it depends on the LED and it's particular output spectrum and the energies for each wavelength. I would check all that before concluding they would be good or bad.


Exactly! Blue light doesn't mean just the colour of the light, but the wavelength, power output, flicker rate and so on. It's a good step, but pay attention to details ;-)


Which same issues - do you mean some LEDs emit UV?


They (usually) don't, but they do have a peak at blue frequencies[0].

Yeah. I think a high CRI would be what you'd want for this purpose. Those aim to match sunlight.
