Why we actually need bluelight filters in lens, monitors and phones? Led bulbs are already emitting a hell lot brighter bluelight every day and night. Whats the point in buying these less blue marketed gadgets

    I’m not sure about the glasses, but I love to crank the orange filter up on all my devices, desktop included. It just feels easier on my eyes I suppose, but I wouldn’t say I do it to help my sleep. The same goes for bulbs, I tend to prefer warmer colors.

      i actually use ‘night light’ mode all the time now at home and at the office, except when editing images or video (and am specifically messing with color)… even on the tv for most viewing (it doesn’t have a mode for it but i made a preset that tries to mimic the effect).

      i can’t adjust my phone but it’s a flipper and i don’t do sms or email on it, so the screen is hardly used.

    An article came out last month or sometime relatively recently that basically says blue light filtering doesn’t help jack.

    Personally I prefer warm toned light in everything except my computer monitor.

    Edit: published study AND summary article. I only read the article but there is a published study associated with it.

    You have blue LED bulbs in your ceiling? Weird color to use for your home lighting but hey, if that works for you…

    Most bulbs are generally already warmer colours and not white.

    You usually don’t look directly at them up close either.

    I have night light turned on 24/7 on all my devices. If I don’t I get a headache after around a day.

    In fact, I couldn’t consistently use linux until recently because only the latest Nvidia drivers (545) added support for night light on wayland. Those glasses could’ve been handy there.

    My prescription eyeglasses have a blue light filter built in, and I still use night shift at night–whether it makes any difference to sleep is up for debate, but overall it’s just more comfortable to use I think!

    I had an option to get blue light filtering glasses for like $5 extra, didn’t see much different when using them but I did notice the lenses turned a little bit yellow from the sun after a few years unlike previous similar glasses.
