      @lorna hi the new guy here :)

      Are these the Feit RED LED's that everyone is referring to?

      A19/R/LED

      https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FA5UMB2/

      Listing says "sea turtle safe" Wanted to make sure before I bought them. Thanks :(

      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.
