Eye strain virtually gone, productivity up enormously:

- Put a strong Redshift filter on my computer screen. 2000K during the day and 1500K at night. Phone is almost at max night light at all times. Virtually no blue light from screens.

- Automated script to switch my PC fan colors from animated rainbow during the day to static amber after sundown.

- Got some standalone lamps with 1800K bulbs to switch to for evening lighting.

My circadian rhythm seems a lot happier.

This is incredible! I need to do this too

It's worth it!

I can imagine!

Been doing the same. Also got a red light lamp to use near my computer when it is too cold to work outside side.

Redshift during day? I can understand on monitors with a strong blue light, but.... Really?

It really helps. I guess even during the day, the volume of direct blue light from the screen entering the eyes is still too much. After getting used to it, I can feel the difference if I suddenly turn it off. Sure the brightness of the whole screen goes up too, so that could be a factor.

So I did decide today to back to regular colors during the day and redshift at night.

I approve this message

I keep my screens heavily redshifted at all times

I have some red LED night-lights with a photosensor so as natural daylight falls I automatically get very low-impact lights
