RK4 is indeed a popular and standard method. However for this particular equation or other equations with a conserved quantity a Symplectic integrator [1] should be used, as they are much better at keeping the numerical solution close to th

The energy of a blue photon is higher than a red one, and so an intense blue light might be an hazard [1]. That said, I don't think these glasses will help much, because according to their transmission curve they still transmit ~75% in the
