Your screen is flickering hundreds of times per second â and itâs hurting your brain and eyes.
Most devices use PWM dimming: rapid, invisible flicker that contributes to fatigue, eye strain, and poor sleep.
Blue light filters wonât fix it. Flicker is a different mechanism entirely â one that disrupts your biology without you noticing.
Curious how screen technology can support, rather than disrupt, your nervous system?
Start by reading our newest guide on flicker, link in bioâď¸
Blue lightâespecially from screensâcan throw off your circadian rhythm, disrupt your sleep, and drain your energy.
Weâve spent years diving deep into how it affects your brain, body, and overall healthâlearning from top scientists and testing it ourselves.
Now, weâre sharing everything weâve learned.
Introducing The Definitive Guide on Blue Light
Clear, practical insights to help you optimize your light environment and reclaim your energy, sleep, and focus.

Ever wonder why 8 hours outside feels energizing but 8 hours in an indoors leaves you drained?
We tested what youâre actually getting from indoor lighting vs. sunlight. It turns out that modern LEDs are optimized for efficiency and brightness, not for mimicking sunlight.
Cold LEDs are extremely high in short wavelength blue light, and completely absent of more restorative red + infrared light.
Blue light is only bad when it is not balanced with lower energy wavelengths, and this is the reason why indoor lighting feels so overstimulating and draining to our body.
Sunlight is full spectrum: all visible wavelengths plus UV plus infrared that balance each other out. We need lighting that more closely mimics sunlight if we want to feel better indoors âď¸
How do you feel about indoor lighting?
Christmas gift idea: a complete work set-up with technology thatâs as cozy as the fireplace this winter
Because our Amber Sunday bundle was such a hit, weâve decided to put together a special Winter Solstice bundle to make sure that everyone will get a chance to superpower their workspace for the new year (or gift it to the people they love this holiday season!).
Our winter solstice bundle:
Daylight Computer
SAMDI stand
Pebble keyboard and mouse
Stylus
All for $729
Order by December 18th to get it in time for Christmas!
Our light environment has a drastic impact on our mood, our energy, and our overall health status. Switching from warm lights to cold lights in the name of âenergy efficiencyâ is in our opinion of the biggest mistakes in modern times. We are now overstimulated, chronically fatigued, and have disrupted our natural biological rhythms as a result of this switch.
These blue dominant LEDs are also what light up our screens, which is where our eyes spent the vast majority of our day focused on. We are already seeing the negative repercussions of excessive screen time proliferate throughout society, but the key point is that the screens could be designed differently. They donât have to be overstimulating and dopamine based, they could be calm and utility based.
It is time to bring back warm, amber lighting. Itâs time to make screens low stimulation and warm as well.
This is our mission. If we change the environment around us we can support human flourishing rather than suppress it.

Screens are a massive disruption to our sleep for three main reasons:
1) high amounts of blue light
2) excessive light intensity (brightness)
3) over stimulating content
When it comes to light - it is both the combination of color and intensity that determines degree of Melatonin suppression. The only way to solve this is at the hardware level, and this is exactly why we built Daylight to be different.

Slow, warm evenings have been my favorite lately đ§Ą
My @daylightco has been such a gift. If you havenât seen this magical computer yet, do yourself a favor and check it out.
The fact that incandescent lights are prohibited for sale and no longer widely accessible is a tragedy for humanity. They are warm, inviting, and put our nervous system at ease. Cold, flickering LEDs that are now recommended do the exact opposite. You can read all the research proving this point or you can simply go off feel, youâll reach the same conclusion.
Itâs time to bring back warm filament fire this holiday season.
Comment âBULBSâ and youâll get access to our limited edition Daylight incandescents.
Refute the status quo and make solutions that agree with our biologyâŚDaylight Labs is here 𧪠âď¸
Everyone deserves access to warm, infrared rich lighting. For a limited time only, Daylight incandescents are here.
Two special edition filament bulbs so warm (2100K) that it will melt your grandmas heart with nostalgia.
