No jokes about epilepsy please. Thanks.
Fair enough, I could see the angle your comment could have gone and don't think it appropriate. He has a well documented iron deficiency, which is nothing to do with epilepsy.
He hasn’t got epilepsy, so it’s hardly relevant and they don’t put a warning on the screens, as the lights don’t trigger epilepsy.
They do when they flash and moving patterns/shapes on screen can trigger an attack depending on light intensity. It's called photosensitive epilepsy. HTH.
The only way that will work is if the screens are turned off. Photosensitive epilepsy is not just triggered by light, but also moving patterns on the screen. My point therefore stands.
They used to put the message up about if you feel unwell, contact a steward.
They don’t display that message anymore though.
They certainly did, I am epileptic and remember when they first started doing these LED light show, that they did announce a warning. lashing light can bring on certain types of fit, but not I my case.
They don't put the message up anymore, as it was deemed unnecessary, after evidence provided by the manufacturer proved that it doesn't trigger photosensitive epilepsy.
It had to sit through a detailed report on it at a SAG meeting.
Whatever you sat through. It's wrong. The end. Moving shapes on any screens LED/Plasma be it light or simply images moving on the screen can trigger photosensitive epilepsy.
Last time I was at a match they showed goal replays? Moving images?
Unless your watching Hull City players off the ball.
We're talking about the floodlights, not the big screens and the floodlights have been specially designed not to trigger photosensitive epilepsy and have never triggered it in anyone, despite the lights now being a requirement in the Premier League and being used by many clubs in Europe.
