You know like in lamps or light fixtures. Get the right color temperature for your surroundings and needs and what not.

For example, for some deranged reason I felt that it was appropriate to have my entire study engulfed in Daylight lightbulbs. The three bulbs in the ceiling fan and the tall lamp next to my desk. Daylight. I must have figured, “Man, I do a lot of reading”, or something like that. Daylight.

This went on for quite sometime. I would often receive comments about how the lamp would serve better for interrogations, but I kept on with this setup until I got a monitor for my laptop. This required a non-impeding alteration to the layout of my desk. The height and bend of the lamp had to be changed, I had to change how I sat to accommodate how I looked at the monitor, or when I was using both the laptop and monitor. Stuff like that.

It wasn’t until my right eye began to feel dry that I decided to make a change. So I spent some time learning how to choose the right lightbulb. I did not need daylight. I was not in a restroom or operating a security camera. I needed something warmer. So I got something warmer and I use Lunar.



This is why I use colour changing LED bulbs. During the day I have them in the bluer parts of the spectrum, and as the night goes they are automatically switched to warmer colour temps, and dimmer brightness settings.
