So I've been a member for more than 4 years now, and have seen many discussions about Nichia LEDs, warm light, though I still don't understand CRI (color rendering index). The reason for my post is I've now started using my L10 Nichia 219, due to it's warm light that does not affect sleep when I'm in bed. I use it when I wake in the morning. Knowing now the importance of getting at least 7 hours of sleep (8 + is better), when I awake, I now reach for the L10 Nichia to light up my clock - and if it's too early, I go back to bed. All of my other lights have too much blue / are way too cold - blue light affects your circadian rhythm and is a no no during sleep time.
I don't like the twist, so I just got a Nitecore Tip Nichia with it's push button!
Some links below on sleep and blue light. First pic is of f.lux - pc program where you can change out of blue light mode hours before bedtime.
The rest of the links below are very good reading / watching. Dr. Rhonda Patrick is awesome!
