Lighting questions: Monitor light

Proportion has the General lighting, if I sit all day on the PC monitor?

Hello,

Thank you for the question! Actually, is usually very bluish light emitted from the monitor and can thus select. Unfortunately also in the evening, if you really don’t want that. Computers are not enough but for the daily dose of blue light.

How much influence has the monitor light on you, depends very much general lighting, especially of the brightness in your entire field of view. The monitor should be not the entire field of view and the wall facing should be evenly and tageszeitlich adapted to be lit in order to reach the receptors in the eye.

If you work in the evening, I will recommend you the small program f.lux (www.justgetflux.com), to customize the color of emitted monitor light in the evening. Simply enter the location where you are located and choose the slow ramp time (60 min) for relaxed look and work.

And avoid it to use screens in complete darkness. This also applies to reading on Tablet PCs and mobile phones.

I hope this will help you and keep you good nights! Miriam
