Another one of my random ideas that I’m curious if it’s actually available. I tried searching for this but couldn’t find much information. Basically, the same concept of reducing blue light as those glasses and the “night mode” for screens to help you sleep. I imagine it’s not that hard to do that with white LED lights as well, just alter the phosphor formulation to emit only lower wavelength lights, it would probably make the light more yellow, but that’s honestly a small price to pay if it makes you sleep better. Does it exist already? If so, any word on how well they work?

    If you have reasonably broadband controllable RGBW LEDs it basically becomes a software problem. Ofc the more broadband options you have the better it would be, in terms of simulating natural light cycles.

    Been planning on testing it for a while, haven’t got around to it yet. I’d be stunned if it didn’t have a pretty positive effect overall.

    Also really wouldn’t be surprised if there are some options or tools for doing it in a crude way with various consumer “smart globes” already…

    edit: ok seems they do, from there i guess it depends how deep you want to go into it, re. reproducing actual wavelengths vs tricking the eye (and therefore hopefully the brain/body)
