Low Blue Lights: Amber Night Light 1600K C7
Low Blue Lights Amber Night Light 1600K C7 light bulb test results
The verdict
A 1482K LED C7 bulb, now discontinued. Its body-clock signal is very low (2% of daylight).
A good pick for the last hours before bed: very little of the light that keeps you alert. Colors look orange under it. It is no longer sold.
