Are non circadian rhythm disrupting light bulbs a thing? (lemmy.ml)

Another one of my random ideas that I'm curious if it's actually available. I tried searching for this but couldn't find much information. Basically, the same concept of reducing blue light as those glasses and the "night mode" for screens to help you sleep. I imagine it's not that hard to do that with white LED lights as well, just alter the phosphor formulation to emit only lower wavelength lights, it would probably make the light more yellow, but that's honestly a small price to pay if it makes you sleep better. Does it exist already? If so, any word on how well they work?

I remember seeing some Philips bulbs that you could configure it's tone with their application, sad thing is closed source and shit but maybe once you change it you don't need to touch it anymore, unless you want it to change its colour throughout the day.

yeah, many LEDs come with the ability to change color and also light intensity. Some RGB lighting stips are uner $25 and have red.

I think that to be circadian rhythm friendly it needs to be a special red, but that could work.
