I've used Philips Hue lights for a sort-of-flux for my office, it works fairly well. The hardware part of it seems like a solved problem with the availability of RGB smart bulbs (or the cheaper ones which only go from cold/blue-ish light to warmer orange light, without full RGB).
The software side could be improved.
- yeutterg 8y agoI use Hue at home as well. They are great for controlling blue light exposure, but the flicker (North America) and color quality leave a ton to be desired. I can occasionally see the flicker, especially in my peripheral vision. Also, they've proven to be unreliable—I've had 4 (out of 13) suffer capacitor failure just outside of the warranty period. Their color binning is not good—new lights look totally different in color from the older ones. I wrote about this and was interviewed on a podcast recently: * Is Smart Lighting Healthy?: https://medium.com/simplebulb/is-smart-lighting-healthy-903ccc81c42b https://medium.com/simplebulb/is-smart-lighting-healthy-903c... * Podcast: https://bedtimebulb.com/ror https://bedtimebulb.com/ror Disclosure: I sell a light bulb meant to be used in the evening before bed. It removes most of the unhealthy blue/green light, has a super high CRI, and has less flicker than "flicker-free" lighting (which could have up to 30% flicker!).
