Why Choose Low Blue Light and Zero Blue Light Bulbs?
Blue light is the shortest and most energetic wavelength of visible light. It plays a crucial role in regulating our circadian rhythm and keeping us alert and well during the day. It's in high amounts in natural sunlight during the daytime and is critical for all human, plant, and animal life.
However, excessive exposure to blue light, especially at night, can disrupt sleep by inhibiting the release of melatonin, a critical hormone best known for its role in inducing sleepiness.
Most LED light bulbs and device screens are full of artificial blue wavelengths that can confuse your internal clock, delay melatonin production, and negatively impact sleep quality. Low blue light bulbs minimize blue light exposure by shifting the light spectrum toward warmer, amber or red hues. Zero blue light bulbs emit a completely red light and eliminate all blue wavelengths.
FAQ about low blue lighting
What are low blue light bulbs?
Low blue light bulbs are designed to minimize the amount of blue wavelengths emitted. They produce a warmer color temperature of light that allows the body to relax and won't stimulate you like brighter white lighting will. Low blue lights are great to use after sunset and during the evening.
The bulbs on this page are incandescent technology, which is naturally low in blue light and higher in red light wavelengths. The majority of low blue or zero blue/ blue-blocking light bulbs out there are specialized LED bulbs that only emit light in the warmer orange/red spectrum.
What is a zero blue light bulb?
Zero blue light bulbs on the other hand are specially engineered LED or incandescent bulbs that eliminate all blue and green light wavelengths and are perfect for the hour or two preceding bedtime. They naturally allow you to get tired and fall asleep, thanks to their dim nature, and the complete absence of any stimulating blue light.
Is blue light bad for you?
Contrary to popular belief, blue light is not inherently bad. Blue light is present in high amounts in natural sunlight during the daytime and is critical for all human, plant, and animal life.
Getting a dose of blue light in the morning can help signal your brain that it's time to wake up, boosting alertness and mood. However, the type and timing of blue light exposure is critical: while it's beneficial during the daytime, too much blue light at night can interfere with our sleep patterns and overall well-being.
When should I start using low or zero blue light bulbs?
Ideally, you should switch to low blue light bulbs during sunset and zero blue light bulbs (our unwind red bulbs) about 1–2 hours before bedtime.
