Good quality trustworthy red LED light bulbs?

@WellTell Many people come here for advice and information and we work hard to make sure what they find here is useful. When people post information it needs to be accurate. Posts that aren't, or that link to programs that we don't certify, or that have a very negative tone may get deleted. This is our forum, it's a bit like our public living room, and it's a service we put out for people that want to join us and learn in a friendly and collaborative way.

@TwoCables are the Feit bulbs you got the "sea turtle safe" ones? I just bought a few to put under the spectrometer, and they look very good.
I forgot to ask: when you say that they look very good, do you mean that they are a very true red without any unwanted colors?

I'll post the data Monday. They are the least most alerting thing we've measured.

The least most alerting thing? What? hehe
I'm assuming you just mean the least alerting thing. If so, then that would explain why I like them as much as I do even though they're too bright. It almost hurts my eyes in the same way that a bright Blacklight can. It's like a trick that's being played on my eyes. If I could reduce their brightness by maybe half or something, then they would be perfect. Except, I admit that I love flooding my room with red light before bed.
If it wouldn't be too much trouble, could you measure the red Westinghouse 1W lights?
-
Haha I didn't even pick up on that mistake! That's just as bad.
-
You guys. The least alerting? The most least alerting? It's really good. There's no alerting light.

hehehe Oh Lorna. :)
Anyway, all kidding and fun aside (hey, it's all out of love), I thank you for telling me and I'm very much looking forward to seeing the data.

Sorry for being pokey about posting the data. We are doing about four different tracks of dev right now, so sitting down to do something simple like measure stuff means finding bugs and adding new features, haha. But I have a pile on my desk waiting for me to measure them for posting. I've grabbed the most popular nightlights and nursery nightlights from Amazon.com as well. Any other lights you want to know about?
-
Oh, good idea to measure the nursery night lights and regular night lights!
I guess the only light data I'm personally curious about are the Westinghouse brand 1W red LED lights and of course my FEIT red LEDs. Menards has both, well at least where I live.
Although probably hard to find, I'd love to see the spectrum analysis of the SWITCH 3-WAY frosted light, and of course I'd be interested in seeing it compared to Cree's Soft White LED lights and their Daylight LED lights. I have a feeling that the SWITCH 3-WAY lights have a fuller spectrum, based on what I experienced.
Take all the time that you need though.

@lorna hi the new guy here :)
Are these the Feit RED LED's that everyone is referring to?
A19/R/LED

Yep! Those are my beloved red LEDs. Sure, they might be fairly bright (I would equate them to a 40W or 60W incandescent), but they are fantastically non-alerting for me. I wish I could find the same quality of red LED in a super dim 0.5W or 1W version. I've seen lots of 0.5W and 1W red LEDs, but I don't know how good they are.
I have to laugh at the specs. It claims 3000K. They couldn't be more wrong if they had tried. 3000K is colder than a normal 2700K incandescent light. These FEIT lights are pure red. I'd say they're probably close 800K. When I use these lights and set f.lux to 800K, I really no longer notice how red my monitor is. It just looks dim and super comfortable to look at. If anything, it's not as quite as red as the LED light!

@TwoCables Wow thanks for the quick reply! You must be a DSPS'er or just up way early!
I'd like to see the spectro data from these. Maybe @lorna can post it. Unless I missed it somewhere in Fluxometer.
Cheers :(
-
Oh wow, you are right. Amazon shows 3000k. I don't see any way that can possbly be correct!

I guess there's a possibility I have Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome, but I don't have a consistent schedule at all. I have to simply go to sleep when I need to, and wake up when I'm done sleeping. So, I'm never sure when I'll be going to sleep or waking up. The time that I go to sleep can be at anytime of the day or night, and the time I wake up can be roughly 6 hours later, 12 hours later, or even 18 hours later. When I go to sleep and wake up all depends on how I feel.
Yeah, you know, I've been wanting those measurements as well. I think it would be fun to know.

@LuckyThree your wish is my command -
this is the exact model you linked on amazon: https://fluxometer.com/rainbow/#!id=lights/Feit Red LED(and sorry - I thought this was already public!)

Awesome awesome awesome. Thank you so much. That bulb looks great!
