I meant they were right about being too blue. I don’t think that it damages the eyes because it’s blue, but I’m pretty sure a really bright light can damage your eyes.

I don’t know about regulations, but you are right about the blue light. Most white LEDs have low CRI, and that’s why things look weird with them.
The reason they use low CRI LEDs is probably because they are cheaper and produce more lumens per watt.
