In this video, I show you guys why your light environment matters and how indoor light can act like processed food for your biology. Tristan and I use meters to compare sunlight, candles, LED bulbs, incandescent bulbs, red light, iPhones, and computers so you can see the differences in spectrum, flicker, blue light, infrared, and circadian impact. My goal is to help you understand which lights are wrecking your sleep and eye comfort, which lights are closest to whole food light, and simple changes you can make at home and on your devices to support your circadian rhythm, sleep, and long-term health.

I'll apologize for the length in advance. I got my BS in Mechanical Engineering Tech back in 1993. I remember in one of my classes they taught us about "Sick Building Syndrome". I remember this applying mostly to office/hotel type environments. This included problems with HVAC, light, sound, etc. With regards to lighting the biggest culprit was florescent lighting which had sometimes visible flicker due to the 60Hz power frequency. I remember then that a correction for the lighting issue was florescent bulbs that operated on a higher frequency, 300Hz if I recall. But it did nothing for the spectrum, of course. Industrial environments had a whole host of different hazards that make the spaces too different for comparison.

The last few years I worked at boeing, I worked from home (computer admin). My office is on the south side of the house (where I'm typing this), LOTS of natural light. It was easier to be able to go outside for a bit. Even though I started before the sun was up, I never used extra lights. I was amazed how felt remarkably better than being in our office. I currently only turn lights on when I need them, some florescent, some LED, and some incandescent. I have a mix in my house. The florescent lights are pretty much only in my unfinished basement.

The office I worked in (boeing) was over lit with florescent lights and while I didn't have the fancy instrumentation, like Tristan's 🙂, I could tell that I felt notably worse there than at home. They could have gotten by with half the lighting than they had. So it wasn't only bad light, it was an abundance of bad light. Particularly, when everyone had a light over their desks and the days of reading paper engineering drawings (paper anything pretty much) was gone. EVERYTHING was on a computer. When I was forced to come back to the office, I took to wearing ball caps and sunglasses (due to the glare). I also came in at the wee hours of the morning before the lights came on and left at noon. It was bad enough that I was forced to retire early. I told them for a number of years preceding that working in the office was a very poor environment to get work done.

When my daughter was a young teen, she began attending a brand-new charter school and started having seizures during the day. After extensive neurological and other testing, her doctors determined that prolonged exposure to fluorescent lighting in a classroom with no natural light was triggering them and disrupting her sleep. The solution was to let her leave the classroom for 10 minutes every hour to get natural light—and it worked

1. If the government's involved, avoid it.
2. If the government supports it, reject it.
3. If the government says it's safe, it's not.
4. If the government says it's true, it's false.
5. If the government wants to help, it won't.
6. If the government says you need it, you don't.
7. If the government says it has no plans, it does.
8. If the government says it's free, it's not.

You wonder why people can’t go to sleep , have memory problems , hormones , and mental illness.

I am electrical engineer but I never was focused on light spectrum influence on our health and this was so helpful. Thank you guys very much, excellent work on this video.

You know what I hate more than anything?! Those stark, bluish white led Christmas lights!

@zonkar 1 month ago

The fact that they are illegal is all you need to know lmao

@Kat333_33 1 month ago

When I found out they were banning incandescent lights, I purchased around $400 dollars worth. When I accidentally come upon them, I also grab them, even though the cost quite a bit more.

When I taught, I could not handle the florescent lights 6 hours a day. So I had lamps all over my classroom, and they literally changed the way my students behaved. Calming yellow light from the incandescent bulbs created a cozy environment conducive to learning. I also kept a candle lit on my desk every day.

Council in a coastal town near us replaced the warm incandescent bulbs in the 30s architectural light features.
The old bulbs gave that period romantic charm & glow.
The NEW BULBS are stark grey white & give VOLDEMORT VIBES. Now these buildings look like a set for vampires & slasher killings. Nobody walks there at night anymore. It doesn't feel safe.
A tragedy for the beautiful architecture as well. It was never intended to become a horror set. The Art Deco glow is gone.

So this is why they got rid of landline phones,changed the t.v.,computers..a way of putting us all in a vulnerable, mental state..and music too

I finally understand why I can no longer use dimming features on my lights. They flicker way too much and drive me bonkers.

Paul our family loves your work and passion for helping humans!! Thank you for being a real doctor!!

It is mind boggling that the light from a source 92 million miles away can't be matched artificially. I am constantly amazed.

I changed all the lamp light bulbs in my house to incandescent and kept the overhead lights a warm led. Really only need the overhead lights if I'm cleaning the house on a rainy dark day. Lots of windows and main daytime area of our home is facing south, getting all of the afternoon and evening sun into the area. Incandescent is perfect amount of light at nighttime to help your brain and body wind down. Just started reading by candlelight at night and it seems to be one of the best sleep practices I've found to help me fall asleep faster.

13:00 I absolutely do not need that device. But I absolutely want that device.

I live on an island in. The Caribbean, for 10 years. Went to the beach every weekend. I had a very good tan. I never set in direct sunlight. I always sat under a canopy or a tent.

After showing this video to my wife, I thought, I would like to see how Tristan's meter reacts to a bulb (LED and incandescent) that is advertised as "Full Spectrum". They are sold to use as plant lights.
