The verdict

A daytime screen lens, not a sleep lens. It blocks 36% of body-clock light, but 45 lenses block more, and under a warm 2700K bulb about 69% still gets through.

It will not protect melatonin at night. Think of it as a screen-comfort lens for the daytime.

Simulated from the lens's measured color. A lens that blocks blue and green darkens cool colors and keeps warm ones.
