PuffyCloud I have one that looks exactly like that. It's flicker free, guess it's the older model.

Most of my light bulb are incandescent or halogen. You can still buy them in Canada, but it's expensive.

    6 months later

    I live in Canada and we still have incandescent lights. I have a tote full of them🙂 I probably have over 250 and a lot of them are the ones that last 7500 hours a bulb. I plan to fill up 5 totes enough till I die hopefully. I can't tolerate LED or CFL no matter what. I call my house the sanctuary with black out curtains so the street light LEDS can't get into my house. I have 4 plasma TV's and all Incandescent bulbs.

      jasonpicard I'm also from Canada, lol.
      Couldn't you also use halogen? I use 60w Halogen bulbs from Home Depot in my house.

          MagnuM halogen is good. One advantage is it burns at a higher temperate so there is more red light. But when the sun goes down incandescent is better because it burns at 2900k which doesn't mess your circadian biology up as much. I have halogens in my bathroom only because of the light fixture.

              jasonpicard Are you aware of any diseases/disorders surrounding sensitivity to circadian rhythm consistency or blue light's function in those cycles?

                  MagnuM the problem is when it comes to our issues I can't figure it out. I spent alot of times in Jack Kruse's forum and other Facebook groups and when it comes to this issue it's just a crazy mystery. For me one day in 2008 I couldn't tolerate ccfl flicker and LED flicker. I wish I could go back and use a CRT monitor. I tried with no success. I even bumped up the refresh rate and it didn't even matter.

                      MagnuM I'm also from Canada, lol.

                      Where, out of curisoity?

                          MagnuM I used to think PWM was the worst that was until my work changed to 6500 K LED lights. Extreme blue light is the worst pain on the planet I think🙂 PWM I lived with for years because of useless fluorescent lights. With this BenQ GW2270 no orange glasses immediate. When I walk onto my shop floor immediate pain. I need to have the orange glasses on. I even have black electrical tape on the sides of the so blue light doesn't slip in the sides. This monitor and my work lights are flicker free. If I go to peoples houses it all depends but the cfl's swirly bulbs make me feel burning, dizzy can't concentrate, migraine, eye pain. I'm quick to recover now and it's been a long time since I have been really knocked out from lights. This past Christmas I went to someone's house with LED christmas lights. Even with the orange glasses after an hour the flicker got to me felt pretty terrible. I am not a fan of rush hour traffic because of flickering car head lights. I usually don't go outside after dark but I have no issues going to Tim Hortons when it's dark. We now use flicker free LED street lights at 3200K. I don't find them that bad. I was scared when they first changed over. I do have black out curtains in my house so those lights don't get in. I would say my problem is bad enough that I wouldn't put myself in the position of a full time computer job. Lucky for me I only use a computer for an hour or less at work. It's a different BenQ model and with my glasses it doesn't bother me. I bought that Samsung quantum dot monitor but am not a fan because it's 6500 K LED. I bought it because of the higher spike in red light but it didn't seem to help. This is the first computer monitor( BenQ2270) I have owned or used in about a year. I got sick of using a computer and was going to give up on phones as well because I was doing terrible. I spent almost everyday outside reading or other activiites. I'm pretty i'm the most sun tanned person in Canada right now🙂 Right now though for about a year I have been fine as long as I guard against crazy flicker area's or extreme blue light. When I finish work I can look at good screens all night long if I want.

                                  MagnuM lol. I really don't care about hockey.

                                    jasonpicard My workplace changed from fluorescent to overhead LED lights at the turn of the year, and I was quite pleasantly surprised that I did not notice any symptom differences. I could tell that the place looked "cooler" when I opened the door in the first working day of 2018, yet I didn't notice any issues (despite expecting some). I have also been able to view a few LED TVs at people's houses without any great lasting difficulty.

                                    It's seemingly LED computer monitors that do it for me, and it doesn't take long. I wonder if it's the closer distance, or some other way the image is displayed, or what. Lowering the brightness as far as it will go, and wearing FL-41 overfits seem to at least delay the symptoms when I am forced to work on an LED for about an hour or so, but I still am going with avoidance if at all possible.

                                    Do you face ridicule from being the guy walking around with funny-colored glasses? This "disorder" or sensitivity has no name. The closest I have seen is "Irlen Syndrome", although reading the description about it doesn't sound like an exact fit (it's more associated with learning disabilities).

                                    Does anyone also have trouble with Walmarts by any chance? I went in one on Monday night, and I don't go there super often, but I always seem to be super spaced-out every time I go. Maybe everybody gets it. Perhaps it's called the "Walmart Wander" - people aimlessly walking around, aisle-by-aisle, overwhelmed at the mass selection of everything (and low prices, lol) Perhaps I'm not a rarity there!

                                    Wow, you're lucky you only have to use a computer for an hour a day. What occupation do you have if you don't mind me asking?

                                    What is living in this country doing to us!? 🙂

                                        MagnuM I work for an elevator company. I assemble elevator parts and ship orders out. Yeah I get that Walmart feeling. For some random reason one Walmart by my house uses flicker free LED bulbs but the rest of them are hell. I have the fl41 glasses and I think they do nothing. The only thing they were good for was not letting light in the side. I wore them for about a year because there wasn't really any real blue blocking glasses available back in 2013. I get asked alot about the glasses but I wasn't the only person who had issues at my work when they changed the lights. It affected 5 people but I'm the worst.

                                            jasonpicard That's pretty cool. Did the other 5 people have any solutions for themselves? That incidence rate seems kinda high with a known and measurable trigger (the changing of the lights). You'd think there would be more medical information about the subject, or at least some sort of diagnosis/name.

                                                MagnuM no I'm really the only one who had any solutions. I'm the expert they kept asking me. One for wears sun glasses. One guy has yellow blue blockers. One guy got wrap around blue blockers. Another guy wears the SCT orange Goggles. It's more of just a minor irritation to them. I'm the worst. I can't tolerate that light for 10 seconds.

                                                    MagnuM 2008 it started with fluorescent light's at work. LED became more common and things just got worse. That was the start for me.
