Question

Is it bad for your eyes to look directly at a 100 Watt lightbulb?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Haven't you ever seen the big warning signs on 100 watt bulbs to never look at them ????

Of course not...why would that be bad for your eyes.

If it is too bright, your eyes will close...thats all.

Answer 3

That depends on how close the bulb is to your eyes.  Two inches from your eyes is bad; 100 feet from your eyes is not bad.

Answer 4

Well if you just quickly look at it it is definitely okay.

But a long time might not be good for your eyes. I mean it doens't help it in any way. And your eyes don't like especially bright things. Talk about looking at the sun for a long time!
