  It is bad for you to stare at artificial light for a long time. By the way, staring at natural light for a long time is also harmful. So, you'd better not to do that. Otherwise, your eyesight will drop rapidly as a consequence. And your eyes will be damaged by the radiation that the artificial light let out. Avoid directly look at it, then wear sunglasses if possible.
