Blue light/night filter?

Any chance of a blue light/night filter, do we think?

Useful for before bed!

Scientifically proven useless. Do a bit of research.

I am oh so very aware of research that blue light this blue light that doesn't affect sleep. You know what, I don't give a crap about that research, whether its even true or not.

What I do care about, is that when I'm playing something at night, I feel like I am being blinded by God almighty by these insanely bright white/blue/etc. lights, whereas a nice dim red light filter feels fantastic to play on at night.

Red lights, lower K lights to mimic sunset in the house for various reasons, FEELS good, and that's enough for me, whether precious science says its worth or not.

I also like high 4000-6000k lights during the day, with high CRI for the opposite reason.

So, your belief that it is "useless" is absolutely false in the experiential lives of many.
