Hue smart lights - A love story

Post Reply New Topic

I'm sorry if this is the wrong section to post this, but I thought I would share what a beacon of light my philips hue system has been this winter. I live in a place where it's currently pitch black at 2PM and it has always affected my mood. I'm also a sucker for gadgets and automation.

Being able to change the color of my atmosphere really helps when I get stuck in a negative state of mind, and I am happier in general with warmer hues.
With a lot of us being light sensitive I believe it might be worth looking into a smart lighting system, especially if you live in an area where it's dark all winter. You can also sync it to music for a stimming effect. Cutting off blue light at night also helps me get into sleep mode.
I apologize if this comes across as some kind of advertisement.
Having recently been diagnosed, I just wanted to share something that has been beneficial to my daily life.
There are different brands of smart lighting and the chinese variants are pretty cheap.
I have led strips installed in my ceiling so that I get indirect, atmospheric light.

You must live in the far north of Norway-----I'm thinking Tromso, for some reason.

That's a good suggestion. I use color-selectable LED strips for lighting my living area. I prefer setting them to a golden color which is a lot easier on my vision than white. Blue light is pretty to me but it tires out my eyes. I wear blue-blocker sunglasses when I'm driving or if I'm outside for a long time.
