I have them, and they're amazing. I have pretty cool LED lighting in my apartment and can make my whole living room any color I want at night. If I set in to pure blue and put on the glasses, it's like being in pitch blackness (except a couple of items glow brightly).

It's not like looking at things with an orange tint at all, even though the glasses are obviously orange.

That being said - the benefits I get by using them is amazing. It's weird how much of a difference it can make, I get tired quickly after putting them on in the evening. If I forget to put them on I usually end up staying up too late, getting too little sleep and often ruining the next day. Personally I find it way more effective than flux.

By the way - blue light isn't just a negative thing, but also a huge positive. In the morning I use a Philips goLITE BLU HF3332, and it really improves both my energy and mood quickly after just a few minutes of usage.

Those two simple items, a blue light and a pair of blue-blocking glasses, have improved my life significantly. Try it out (especially the glasses, it's just $9).

This sounds very cool, any chance you could post a picture of your living room with some different colors?

Normally I have it set to a static color or a very slow and smooth fade, not the crazyness seen in the vids.

Here's blue, which is totally dark with the Uvex glasses: https://goo.gl/photos/SCrU1PhbDmCuPi22A

Works great and costs basically nothing.

Usually people praise how "how easy on the eyes" it is etc, but I'm quite happy with white and my eyes are fine.

While tired late at night, I've noticed how much of a pick-me-up it is when playing games such as Skyrim/Fallout 3 (which put effort into a realistic day/night visual cycle) and dawn becomes morning in the game.

It never occurred to me to take advantage of the opposite of that effect.

If you can get past the goofy look (perhaps a bit more problematic at work than at home), they work great, and obviously they work with any device.

In all seriousness, how do they affect colour? If you're working on a front-end web project or design, could these be problematic?

I agree that the shift towards red light on your monitor is weird at first but after a short while you get used to it, and your monitor starts to look very weird without it.

What app are you using on android?

That being said, since I started using redshift, I usually go to sleep at 12 oclock. I used to do late hours before.

Also, one can easily reduce/remove Blue from any monitor using hardware settings alone.

These apps are also a lot more feature rich than twiddling with display settings - you can customize their aggressiveness, set times, set timed breaks for color-sensitive work, sync to the sunset in your location, etc. You could do this all manually but I doubt anyone actually would.
