Advantages of the Dark series

• Maximum light reduction: Blocks 100% of blue light and 70% of the green light spectrum up to 550 nm to protect your sleep cycle and improve your sleep quality
• Ideal for extreme light conditions: Especially recommended if you are in environments where bright light is prevalent and you have little control over the lighting.
• Promotes sleep quality: Supports the natural production of melatonin by minimizing exposure to light-induced melatonin suppression.

The problem: Blue light in the evening

The crucial and biggest problem with blue light after sunset is the effect it has on our nervous system. After dark, the light fools your brain into thinking it's the wrong time of day. This interrupts your sleep cycle and can have a negative effect on your health, especially over a longer period of time. Blueblockers can help you to protect your sleep cycle and improve your sleep quality.

Difference between LEDs and fire

LED spectrum

Blue light is light with a wavelength of approx. 380 to 495 nanometers (nm). This is short-wave and very high-energy light. Modern displays, LEDs and energy-saving lamps have a disproportionately high proportion of blue light. This stimulates certain photoreceptor cells and can lead to a dysregulation of your sleep-wake rhythm. This can have a negative effect on your hormones and metabolism.

Fire (candlelight)

Before we were able to turn night into day with the invention of electricity, there were only natural light sources in the form of fire. The big and decisive difference to today's light sources is the distribution of the light spectrum. As can be seen in the graph, blue and green are hardly present in candlelight. Furthermore, fire has no flicker effect, which can stress your nervous system. Therefore, fire usually has a calming effect.
