GE C Series lights are available for order in starter packs as of a few moments ago. Coupon code for 20% off the retail price, introductory price is $50 right now, will jump to $70.

The fine print says discount code ( Sleeptight ) expires 3/22/16. Offer is good for up to 5 starter packs.

I'm putting in my order today! Now, the only question is how many to place and order for…

@lorna Woah, to say this in a way that excludes foul language, where has this page been? I think I'll donate [soon].

Why is there not one for Windows? That would be nice, and maybe make the page a bit more public facing. I see it's now a page that will open on a fresh install, you know why I haven't seen it!

@lorna Fluorescent lights SUCK! WOOOOH! Awesome, now maybe they'll go away in the next 7 years instead of 20.

Sorry, uh, what I mean to say is: MOST fluorescent lights. The Philips TL950 can stay!

In the end an unin/reinstall solved it. Don't know what was wrong but its better now. For anyone who reads this for reference, even with hue working F.Lux doesnt show up as an app in your Hue user account. Thanks for the input

I don't know. I don't have a Mac. I just choose "Darkroom Mode" from the menu. Inverting the colors in darkroom mode would just look like f.lux in 800K mode. It would make it normal. Darkroom Mode changes the color temperature to 800K and also inverts the colors. So that's why inverting the colors on Darkroom Mode just makes everything look normal, but at 800K.

Just try it to see. It will consume much less time and energy than asking. ;)

Do we have any updates on this? I would love to have this feature!

What do you mean by 'truly red'? 1900 K (or 2000 K – no big difference) is not red but orange-yellowish. Max 'ct' input is 500 (500 mired = 2000 K). That's the technical limit of the bulb according to Philips.

Here's what Philips dev says about different modes:

We can also choose to address the color point of light in a different way, using colors on the black curved line in the center of the diagram. This is the line that follows white colors from a warm white to a cold white. hue supports color temperatures from 2000K (warm) to 6500K (cold) with great white light. To set the light to a white value you need to interact with the “ct” (color temperature) resource, which takes values in a scale called “reciprocal megakelvin” or “mirek”. Using this scale, the warmest color 2000K is 500 mirek ("ct":500) and the coldest color 6500K is 153 mirek ("ct":153). As with xy, the light will go to the closest value it can produce if the specified color temperature is outside of the achievable range.

Still doesn't explain why I can go outside 6500-2000K using 'xy' mode. I noticed Philips sometimes talks about 'functioning white light'. Anyone know what this means?

@lorna So, they won't use a capacitor because it doesn't like heat (and it's "too big"). Can they make the capacitor in a way that tolerates heat better? I think that may be step one.

@Dugie Well, I don't think they will consider using Hue bulbs (they might) but I'll say that looking at the fluxometer, the Hue bulbs miss the blue spectrum quite a bit, it's more purple, and it has less cyan (aqua) than other LED bulbs. This means it's not as effective when waking you up.

With that said, I set my hue lights to come on around... uh 6:00 A.M., and well, they did the trick. I was so confused as to why it was so bright. I'd wanted to do it slowly, but I couldn't set it up properly. Yeah 1,200 lumens of any light at full brightness will get you out of bed. And I turned that light off, as it was still 6 A.M. and I had no reason to be up that early, and it was very overcast outside. So they work, but the color quality isn't great. I think I had them set to around 3400K or so, not overly white, and in this range, the colors are decent.

@lorna Stayin busy! I like it! Don't work too hard though, and maybe you're familiar with the 20-20-20 rule? There's a few apps for that, like work rave!

I would really love this feature to be available on Mac!

Aw man, didn't see this until just now. Coupon expired :(.

There's more blue light in the morning sunlight than there is in the evening sunlight. This is due to a mild Blue Shift effect as the sun "rises" to its highest point in our sky, and then there's a mild Red Shift effect as it sets from that point on.

So, it's more than an opinion; it's what we need.
