Have you tried high quality (CRI>95) LED lighting?
I have tried many different brands and quality and found the high CRI ones to be much more pleasant and with a nice looking and smooth light spectrum.
I have not checked with an actual spectrograph but where I live it is almost impossible to find incandescent or halogen bulbs anymore.
- actionfromafar 4y agoThis is fine advice and I apply it where I can, but I'm tired of this pattern: - "we have a civilization sized malady" - "have you tried an extremely local remedy, which works at most in your own home?"
- Syonyk 4y agoI know they exist, and the good ones that specifically work on reducing the blue are something like $30/ea. I'm unclear as to how they dim - some LEDs just turn into this dim, grey, nasty light, though. Meanwhile, dimmed incandescents are even better and cost radically less up front - yes, they use more power, and in the winter the heat emissions are welcome. And we use radically less light, because you don't need that much light at night. A kerosene lantern worth of light is more than enough to read by.
- microsoftdoes 4y ago1. CRI is not the be all, end all. You also want high R9, which CRI does not measure. 2. Good high-CRI, high-R9 bulbs cost over $25 per bulb. 3. That does nothing about the hideous lighting in my office, in hotels, or in anyone else’s home.
