LED eye damage

At what point, given the rapidly increasing power of visible light output from LEDs, will the possibility of eye damage have to be taken seriously? I know that looking into my 1.5W LED torch it's at the point where a part of the retina will be washed out for minutes. And that's after the external lens which provides a fairly wide beam.
