Blue Blocking Light Bulbs & Lighting
Blue Blocking Lighting For Sleep And Health
Protecting your eyes from blue light is only part of the problem. The receptors in our eyes that respond to blue light also exist throughout our skin. If your skin is still being exposed to the artificial light in your home from overhead LED lighting, the high amounts of blue (and green) light hitting your skin at night can also disrupt your sleep and circadian rhythms. Read our article ”Do We Need to Protect Our Skin from Blue Light?” to find out more about this.
All of BlockBlueLight’s blue blocking lighting products have been specifically designed and verified to be free of any blue light, produce zero flicker, and are low EMF.

BlockBlueLight's LED bulbs have transformed the common LED bulb to now be complexly safe and healthy for us. Our bulbs have been specifically designed and manufactured to block 100% of harmful light wavelengths that will interfere with melatonin being released. We have also incorporated an advanced driver to make the light completely flicker free; normal LED bulbs produce flicker which is causes headaches, migraines and eye strain. Our bulbs are also low EMF to ensure we are not also being exposed to harmful radiation.
Our Sweet Dreams amber bulbs are guaranteed to block all blue light wavelengths up to 500nm, and our Twilight red light Bulbs all blue and green light wavelengths up to 570nm
Several top lighting manufacturers have introduced night-time bulbs that have lower blue light output and label these are "warm white", however these bulbs have not been designed with removing enough of the blue light spectrum, they still emit high amounts of blue light which will still cause melatonin suppression, and still have a lot of light flicker causing headaches and eye strain.

Conventional LED bulbs are bad for us yes, but all of BlockBlueLight's lighting products are not the same as conventional LED lighting.
Common LED lighting you will find in most homes is bad for our health for two main reasons; They have a very high spike in the Blue light range and are void of any of the yellow orange or red colors. This high intensity of blue light is very far from natural balanced light you find in nature, it can cause eye damage, eye strain, headaches, and migraines. It is also responsible for causing sleep disruption by suppressing the sleep hormone melatonin.
Secondly Conventional LEDs produce flicker, while it may not be visible to the human eye, the LED lights are flashing on and off hundreds of times a second, the brain can recognize this flicker even if you can’t, which can then lead to eyestrain, headaches, loss in concentration, and even damage to our eyes!

Be very careful with cheap colored light bulbs, while these appear to look like pure orange or red light they are not. We have measured these with a laboratory grade spectrometer and have shown they still emit significant levels of blue light. Even a small amount of blue light can disrupt your circadian rhythms. The cheap bulbs are just colored shell to make normal light appear a different color such as red or orange. There’s no testing or specific designing gone into these bulbs to remove 100% the harmful blue and green spectrum of light.
Cheaper light bulbs will without a doubt will also have flicker which is been shown to cause migraines, damage the eyes and even may affect our nervous systems over time.

We developed the SweetDreams Bulb to be a more general-purpose bulb to use throughout the home to replace most 60+ watt bulbs, they provide sufficient brightness and color while still removing 100% of the harmful blue light. This is a great solution to swap out most of the bulbs in your house, they give of a nice warm relaxing amber light yet still fully protect against harmful blue light.

Ideally, you would turn off your lights and keep your room as dark as possible during sleep. However, if you are uncomfortable sleeping with the lights off, we recommend using our Red Night Lights which have been designed to provide very low wattage and just enough dim light to take the darkness out of the room, and these can safely be kept on while sleeping.
Our light bulbs are not suitable to be used with dimmer switches or to be dimmed. This is by design, because when LED bulbs are dimmed and are not running at full brightness it significantly increases the amount of flicker from the light, it also creates high EMF levels being emitted from the bulbs. We have designed our light bulbs to be flicker free and low EMF, so to not compromise this we have made them non dimmable.
We do have our flicker free NoBlue Amber Lamp, Twilight Red Light Lamp, and the NoBlue Book Light, which have 3 brightness settings which make a suitable light source to use if you would like to raise and lower the brightness of the light.
