I hate using The Big Light™, but I can’t always have my room dark. My led strip that is up in the corner of the ceiling just died, so I’m looking for replacements. I’m not opposed to another one, I’m just curious what all else there is. thanks
edit: I might actually just replace my big light bulbs with hue bulbs or something (though those are mad expensive)
Red LED tape on the underside of my desk, dresser, and shelves. Keeps a nice dull red glow in my room, just enough to see around, but low enough that I can sleep through it. Smart plug for scheduling.
There’s a lava lamp on a smart plug that turns itself on ~1hr before I go to bed (so it’s movin and groovin by the time I’m in there). It’ll also turn off after 8hrs regardless of whether it was turned on manually/automatically. Saftey/longevity of the lamp.
Finally a regular bedside lamp, with a dimmable smart bulb.
The smart controls let me set schedules so the desired lights come on as I’m going to bed or with my morning alarm, and making sure that they’re off when I leave for work. Plus I can turn them on/off or set brightness from my phone without getting up from bed.
oh god red would make me feel like I was in a horror movie
lava lamp might be a decent idea tho
Red is seriously relaxing once you get used to it. Look at a dark room for photo development, relaxing and soothing as fuck, the lighting is
Dark paradise
Also helps for night sight, doesn’t wake you up if you need to get up at night (bathroom, kids rooms, even kitchen).
I wouldn’t keep it on tho, its still light and less is more at night
Oh, definitely not, it’s motion activated (in a way that movement in the bed doesn’t do it).
A vampire’s bedroom.
They know where its at. I would say yes to getting to sleep in a well-upholstered coffin every time
Can always go with RGB and pick colours on demand. I just like the color red. Blue light wakes/keeps me up.
I have RGBW tape on the underside of my kitchen cabinets, inside some nice tracks to keep them out of direct line of sight. White during the day for counter top lighting; red at night for nightlighting that doesn’t wake you up when you go for a late night snack. And random disco colours for parties, just because…
