Yeah I used to be conserved about blue light too, but it just doesn’t make any sense. Like the article mentions the amount of blue light we get with regular daylight is orders of magnitude more than anything we get from a screen. The light from the moon that we’re evolved with is not orange either.
But I think there’s a psychological comfort with orange light. Perhaps since we historically would have bonfires and candle light in the evening. So I have Philips Hue set to get very orange in and around our bedrooms at night. I guess since we tend to have more light than natural in the evening, it could be a good hack for the circadian rhythm to reduce blue light in the evening and at night, though I think the total light level is the most important. What’s nice about the Philips hue colour bulbs is that if you set them to minimum dim with orange color it’s just barely enough to see which is perfect when going to the toilet at night.
