    A local beer store has asked if the light from LEDs is as harmful to beer as regular light. I don't know, anyone have an answer?

    Well, what's "regular" light- sunlight, fluorescent, incandescent?

    The Master Brewers Association of the Americas says that harmful part of the light spectrum is "550 nm and below".

    I'm assuming they mean fluorescent, as that's whats in most reach in coolers. They do keep their shelved beer away from the windows.
