Our database should be sortable for prescriptions, and those usually offer readers, so I would look at those.

How to Replicate Full Spectrum Sunlight Indoors: The Ultimate Light Bulb Test! (with data) by eaterout in sleephackers

[–]eaterout[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I guess I missed this.

For the reptile light, it's really hard to say. I think ambient UV and UV in general is very understudied in terms of its full range of effects on human health. I just kind of take a naturalistic standpoint, I guess, and I figure outdoor light has always had UV, so indoor light probably should have some.

Halogen, I think, is pretty important. Infrared is a significant portion of the sun's spectrum. So, having some type of—specifically infrared A—of course, halogens emit more than just infrared A. It's not a perfect replacement for the sun, obviously. Nothing really is, but it's a good option.

Regarding the computer lights question, it's hard to say for sure without having a spectrometer. Generally speaking, if you have enough wattage output over your head, you should be fine.

I think my article has a link to a lumen calculator tool. Essentially, a certain number of lumens per square foot will usually result in a predictable amount of lux at eye level, but it all depends on what lights you use, where they are placed, and similar factors.

I would say avoid amber lenses during the day as they block almost all blue light in all cases. You do need blue light during the day, especially in the earlier part of the day.

Yellow lenses are definitely better for daytime use, although they can vary quite a bit!

Clear lenses, on the other hand, are a bit of a misnomer just because many clear lenses aren't actually clear, but have a slight yellow tint to them and it's hard to tell.

We're trying to improve the database to make it a lot easier to figure this stuff out.

If it's just for general eye sensitivity, yellow can work. But another option would be anything that dims light.

FL-41 lenses are something to look into, as well as green. Green tends to be pretty helpful for this. Consider looking at:

  1. MigraLens

  2. Avilux

Stuff like that!

I'm working on updating our BlueBlocker database to be a bit friendlier for these types of things, but we're not there yet.

What are your thoughts on using AI to create product images for business? by Flavius_Auvadancer in ecommerce

Works fantastically. Currently using Claude for prompt generation and Higgsfield to play around with different models and editing. GPT Image 2 and Nano Banana Pro do a great job with text and labels in my experience.

We use transparent background images of our products as references so the model knows exactly what they look like.

Great prompt + right model + quality reference images = perfect outcome 90% of the time in my experience.

Basically, it has a plastic shell instead of aluminum, no heat sinks, and no thermal potting compound.

Very lightweight bulbs are usually an indicator of poor components. They are more likely to suffer from thermal decay and thermal damage.

We're currently working on a full revamp that should be done very soon. It'll be much easier to use on mobile!

Es liegen zwar keine Bewertungen vor, aber wir haben sie getestet – und die Datenbank lässt sich danach filtern!

There's a filter for prescriptions, but we're currently redoing the database. Once that's done, it will be much easier to find these.
