Surely walking around outside exposes you to plenty of blue light. I think the issue is when people stay up late working at the computer.

If I take off my blue light glasses and look outside at night I feel like I've just been woken up.

Modern street lights seem worse than most people think in this case.

Note that the study involves exposing the flies for 12h a day, not all day every day.

At what intensity compared to sunlight or iPad screens?
