It’s just a relatively simple calculation of (amount of energy/amount of space) * time You could have a 100w laser pointed at your eye, but if it only operates for a femtosecond it would have no effect. The light isn’t worse or better than any other form of light.

In electronics instantaneous power still needs to be accounted for. You can’t just average it out especially if its many orders of magnitude higher than continuous.

I’d be absolutely shocked if biological systems were somehow different.
