Read Me: It Might Help You Make a Decision.

They serve their purpose. They help with glare, photosensitivity, cluster headaches, migraines and other "white noise" that you don't understand until you see it again, in the right environment. For some reason people on the internet think this product is a joke. Well, from someone with constant migraines, severe pain, and partial paralysis, I don't know. The fact is, the product is what the user makes with it. If you decide to put it on your head and claim it doesn't work, don't bother writing a review about your idiocy. The product successfully eliminates the white balance extremes associated with high color temperature white fluorescent lamps that cause severe visual impairment. Stress and in my case migraines. Simply put, T8 fluorescent lamps in office buildings are cheaper per bulb than "higher" color temperatures and look "brighter" than HID lamps in a car. Looking brighter and being brighter are not the same. For example, blue HID lights with a color temperature of 9000 are blue or purple and are not optimal for night vision. Xenon lamps with a color temperature of 4500 are optimal for long-distance vision. The same applies to fluorescent lamps in buildings. Luminaires with a higher color temperature are designed for 25- to 50-foot ceilings, not 15-foot ceilings. For people with light-sensitive eyes, this is a big problem. Your eyes adjust, but at the cost of clarity and eye strain and mental fatigue. Computer screens also have problems with white balance and extreme contrast fluctuations. Have you ever noticed that most websites have a lot of white? The OSHA guidelines for computer users should be expanded for this reason and because of the effects on the eyes. The worse the website, the more time your brain needs. Have you ever noticed that fog lights are yellow in Japan? Yes, it's just JDM and looks cool. Not right. It might look cool, but the fog lights are yellow because yellow has a lower color temperature and cuts through the fog so you can see. The same applies to old light bulbs. Although they consume more power, they do not cause eye strain because their color voltage is lower. My point is: give up trying to get the color tension right and try a pair of these. Your brain needs time to adjust, so don't expect to see the avatar colors for the first 10 seconds once they're on. After about the 3rd day, you will start making noises on the computer screen in the cockpit or on the table, which when picked up will hurt the white lights in the eyes and everything will become blurry. This is a normal reaction to white light and what you've been experiencing all along. There are 3 things this product doesn't do well. 1. Publicity: Because of this, everyone flaunted their statements and made fun of them. They didn't explain how and when to use them. If I were to do it differently, I would say the following. Driving at night, at dusk or at dawn. White light office cubicles When moving from a bright environment to a dark environment, or from a dark environment to a bright environment When using a high-contrast monitor less than 15 feet away. When using the monitor at night. When you are blinded by other people's headlights. (HIDDEN)2. Product Support: I had a scratch on the surface, so I asked the company if I could fill it in, clean it, or repair it. I have a support rep who emailed me what I told him and rephrased the question. No solution, no suggestions. This is a support service error. The cover is removable so you can buff, clean or fill in scratches with just a microfiber cloth. This is the answer I found.3. Extreme Yellow: A company must offer variations in the yellow balance in their product. Some people don't want the full yellow flame they give you, just a little rounding off the top of that color temperature range. Some people have trouble with red, so they should suggest a variation of that color as it has the longest wavelength. I think if they reduced the intensity of the yellow by 30% not only would the product look less yellow but it would also be a lot more transparent without fooling your brain into believing that everything is yellow now. I personally want all those shades of yellow, so I don't mind. how_to_eliminate_eye_training_from_your_big_beautiful_pc.html http://www.pyroenergen.com/articles09/color-temperature-lighting.htm well.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/09/02/do-fluorescent-lights-trigger-migraines/?_php=true&_type =blogs&_r=099 dollars is pretty cheap instead of years of eyestrain, 5 years for doctors and optometrists who understand what I just described, banging on things, street hype because you can't see because someone blinded you with xenon light has to hit things because they are white and you can't see them, medical bills, headaches, specialists, co-payments, insurance issues, glasses, eye exams, medications and so on. The average co-payment is between $25 and $100. So what do you have to lose?
