If you’re an Apple user 😉 and probably android too… you don’t need to wear blue light glasses 👓 just set the night shift setting on all of your devices at all time and more prominently at night.

I use night shift permanently - less prominent during the day because I design and need to see how things will look without distortion and more so at night. All automated.

Have the same issue, wanting to use night shift all day but can’t when designing😅 Might need those blue light blockers after all 👓

this

have it on for most of the time on my phone

unless i'm watching movies, designing or playing something, i also have it on for my monitor

GM. Their is also a more hardcore Red Filter you can enable on iOS https://ios.gadgethacks.com/how-to/keep-your-night-vision-sharp-with-iphones-hidden-red-screen-0173903/

Dang…

And then edit a photo session 🙃 it’ll look great

Haha yeah … don’t you like red photos? 🤣

To my client “just turn on Night Shift and they’ll look normal, also please don’t print them” 🥲

Done ✅

As a designer i had to do remake or two because i screwed up the white balance. 🤪

Forgot to put the blue filter off...😲

Blue light glasses are proven to be nigh useless anyway, so they're just a waste of money

This doesn’t actually fully prevent the emission of blue light… sadly. Though I do this too.

I used to do this all the time until @jack informed me that red-shift was a scam. He wrote a Nostr note about it.

Except that doesn't actually stop any blue light 😂😂😂

Ah yes, dimming your blue light doesn’t dim the blue light. What was I thinking! Apple put that feature in for fun to make our screens orange because everyone likes oranges.

It is easier on the eyes yes, but under a light meter, it is still full of blue light. Just the same as led lights in your home that are warm in color. Still full of blue light.

What an ignorant take!

Nightshift doesn't reduce the color temperature of the screen below 3000K, there's still a lot of blue light being emitted when you have nightshift on.

You want the screen below 2500K, best at 1800K (Complete red)

Also, softwares are never a solution because there’ll be some light leaking, always!

That’s why you need a physical blue light blocking glasses

I’m not looking to block it fully. To me the paranoia of Bitcoiners about blue light or emf is akin to wrapping yourself in a bubble, thinking that’s the way to stay safe when you have hundreds of other factors that will cut you life short.

I get eye strain from wearing blue light blocking glasses.
