Are street lights ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands an IQ tax? The first batch of users who bought eye protection lamps were already myopic.

I don’t know since when, street lamps have become a must-have item for middle-class study rooms, but this is the IQ tax you pay. How can a burning street lamp be worth 5,000? Everyone who comes into contact with street lights for the first time will be shocked by its price. Even entry-level street lights cost about a thousand yuan.

In fact, the scientific name of the street lamp is "floor eye protection lamp". As the name suggests, eye protection is its main function and selling point.

In fact, there is no concept of eye protection in relevant national regulations. Table lamps used for reading and writing lighting and table lamps that promote "eye protection" are both called reading and writing desk lamps.

The "Performance Requirements for Reading and Writing Desk Lamps" to be implemented in 2024 puts forward standard requirements and suggestions for electrical safety and light quality. However, there is no clear statement and specific standards for “eye protection”. In other words, "eye protection" is just a selling point created by merchants, and there is no fixed implementation standard.

In fact, many parents who have large street lights at home also suspect that this is an IQ tax. At the same time, they also said frankly: "Even if the IQ tax is applied, they will still buy it." "Because it may not be useful if you buy it, but you will regret it if you don't buy it." Rather than saying that the lamp is bought by parents to protect their eyes, it is better to say that it is a placebo to relieve anxiety.

The current situation is that the first batch of users who bought eye protection lamps are already myopic, and doctors say that rational use of eyes is the only way to prevent myopia.
