I've read that it's likely to be the blue portion of the light that interferes with the sleep pattern. Robert Miles

Had to tape over my display on a DAB clock radio because of that. -- Skipai

Had to tape over my >display on a DAB clock radio because of that. Or automobile manufacturers from using blue console lighting. Completely off topic but, <RANT> I don't know about other people, but the stupid blue consoles hurt my eyes - even turned down to minimum intensity, at night I see after-images of the console when I look back to the road. I have excellent night vision but my eyes don't re-adjust quickly enough any more after looking at a light - I have trouble with oncoming headlights too even though I wear yellow lenses to drive. I currently have an older car that has orange console lighting (turned to minimum intensity - other people get in my car and can barely see it) and I hate having to rent a car when I travel. I dread the day my car will eventually die because I don't know what to replace it with .... it seems that only some really expensive cars have orange (or adjustable color) console lighting - almost all mid-range American and Asian cars use blue - I've seen a handful of green but no red/orange among them. I've never seen any aftermarket kits to change the console lighting either. </RANT> We now return to the regularly scheduled discussion. George |
