1. Introduction
Lighting plays a significant role in our daily lives, impacting not just visibility but also our health and well-being. Families today spend a large portion of time indoors under artificial lighting, which is often a source of harmful blue light. Excessive blue light, especially in the evening, can disrupt sleep patterns, cause headaches, and even affect mood. However, there’s a better way to light your home while supporting a healthy lifestyle for your family.
CHIRYŌ’s healthy lighting technology offers a scientifically backed solution to the blue light problem. Our LED bulbs feature Calm Green 520nm narrowband, Sunset Amber 600nm, and Peaceful Red 630nm to create a balanced, calming atmosphere without the negative effects of blue light. Whether you want to wind down after a busy day or create a cosy, relaxing environment for your children, CHIRYŌ bulbs are the ideal choice for a healthier home.
In this article, we’ll dive into why blue light is harmful, how CHIRYŌ lighting provides a safer alternative, and the many health benefits of incorporating red, amber, and green lighting into your home. Keep reading to discover how to make your home a healthier environment for the entire family.
2. The Problem with Standard Lighting: Blue Light’s Impact
Most families are unaware of the harmful impact standard light bulbs have on their health. Typical LED or fluorescent lights emit a significant amount of blue light, which can interfere with your body’s natural processes. Blue light wavelengths (around 400-490nm) are similar to sunlight and help regulate your body’s circadian rhythm—the internal clock that governs your sleep-wake cycle. However, exposure to blue light in the evening can be harmful.
Melatonin, the hormone responsible for making you feel sleepy, is naturally suppressed by blue light. This disruption affects both adults and children, making it difficult to fall asleep and maintain a healthy sleep cycle. When the body doesn’t produce enough melatonin, it struggles to wind down properly at night, leading to insomnia and poor-quality sleep.
Moreover, research has shown that excessive blue light exposure can lead to headaches and eye strain. These problems are often exacerbated by the use of devices such as smartphones and tablets, which emit high levels of blue light. Families using standard household lighting may be adding to this issue without realising the health consequences.
Fortunately, CHIRYŌ’s Peaceful Red 630nm and Sunset Amber 600nm LED bulbs are 100% blue-light-free, making them ideal for evening use. These colours help regulate the body’s natural rhythms without disturbing melatonin production, allowing your family to relax, unwind, and prepare for restful sleep. Learn more about the science behind blue light’s impact on sleep in this clinical study.
3. How CHIRYŌ LED Lighting Solutions Can Transform Your Home
At CHIRYŌ, we’re passionate about creating lighting solutions that benefit your health and well-being. Our bulbs are designed to replace harmful, blue light-emitting fixtures with healthier options that support your family’s natural cycles.
- Calm Green 520nm Narrowband: Green light has been shown to have calming effects and is less likely to trigger headaches compared to blue light. However, it’s important to note that green light naturally contains a small percentage (1-3%) of blue light. It’s impossible to eliminate blue light completely from green wavelengths, but CHIRYŌ’s narrowband technology filters this to the minimum necessary, allowing families to enjoy the benefits of green light without triggering headaches or disrupting sleep cycles. Research shows green light can also aid relaxation, which is ideal for unwinding at the end of the day. More on this can be found in this study on green light and headache relief.
- Sunset Amber 600nm: Amber light, with its warm, natural glow, is the perfect replacement for standard household lighting. Amber lighting mimics the gentle tones of sunset, which helps prepare the body for sleep by boosting melatonin production. Amber light is perfect for evening lighting, as it creates a serene environment without the harshness of white light. Studies indicate that using amber light in the home reduces stress and promotes relaxation, making it a great alternative to white light in living spaces. Learn more in this study about amber lighting and sleep.
- Peaceful Red 630nm: Red light is considered the optimal lighting for use before bed. It has been proven to have no negative effects on melatonin production, which is crucial for maintaining a healthy sleep-wake cycle. Families who use red light in the evening may find that they fall asleep faster and experience deeper, more restful sleep. Red light is particularly beneficial during the winter months when natural sunlight is limited. For those prone to headaches, green light can be used as a substitute while still enjoying the relaxation benefits. Check out this research on red light and sleep improvement.
4. Benefits of Red, Amber, and Green Lighting Explained
The benefits of introducing CHIRYŌ’s healthy lighting solutions into your home are far-reaching. From improved sleep to reduced headaches, each of our LED bulbs offers unique advantages that standard household lighting cannot.
- Melatonin Regulation and Better Sleep: Red and amber lights are particularly effective at promoting melatonin production, a hormone essential for sleep. A well-regulated sleep cycle is crucial for the overall health of both adults and children. For children, in particular, maintaining healthy sleep patterns is key to their cognitive development and emotional well-being.
- Reduction in Headaches: For individuals who are sensitive to blue light, such as those who suffer from migraines, switching to green light can make a world of difference. Research has found that exposure to green light can reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches, providing relief to those who are particularly sensitive to standard lighting. The minimal blue light present in CHIRYŌ’s Calm Green 520nm bulb allows families to enjoy the benefits of green light without exacerbating headaches.
- Relaxation and Stress Reduction: Amber and green lighting are both known for their calming effects. Amber light helps create a warm, welcoming environment, perfect for family evenings together. Green light, on the other hand, is known to reduce stress and promote relaxation, helping your family unwind after a long day.
By gradually replacing your household’s white light with Sunset Amber 600nm for general use and Peaceful Red 630nm in the late evening, your family can experience a noticeable difference in their mood, sleep quality, and overall well-being.

5. Step-by-Step Guide to Introducing Healthy Lighting into Your Home
Introducing healthy lighting into your home doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Here’s a practical guide for gradually making the switch to CHIRYŌ LED bulbs:
- Start with Sunset Amber (600nm): Begin by replacing the main overhead lights in living rooms and bedrooms with Sunset Amber bulbs. These are the most effective lights to use in the late afternoon and evening, as they create a warm and cosy atmosphere that prepares the body for sleep.
- Add Peaceful Red (630nm) in the Evening: As bedtime approaches, switch over to Peaceful Red lighting in bedrooms. This light is optimal for pre-sleep relaxation without disrupting melatonin production. Using it for an hour or two before bed will help your family fall asleep more easily.
- Use Calm Green (520nm) as a Backup: For family members prone to headaches or migraines, keep Calm Green bulbs on hand. Use green light in rooms where individuals may need relief from headaches, as it provides the benefits of relaxation while minimising the risk of triggering further discomfort.
- Switch to Lamp Lighting Instead of Overhead: Research has shown that the height and positioning of light sources also affect how your body responds to light. Lamp lighting is more natural and less disruptive to your circadian rhythm compared to harsh overhead lighting. This technique helps create a calm environment, perfect for winding down in the evening and helping your family to relax.
- Use Dimmers and Timers: Many families struggle with lighting intensity, especially when transitioning from bright, active lighting to calmer evening lights. Using dimmers and timers is a fantastic way to gradually lower the intensity of lights as bedtime approaches. This slow transition can signal to your body that it’s time to wind down, encouraging better sleep without sudden changes in lighting that might be jarring.
- Incorporate Healthy Lighting into Your Morning Routine: Healthy lighting isn’t just about winding down in the evening. During the day, especially in the morning, exposure to natural or warm, dimmable LED light can help regulate your circadian rhythm. Consider using CHIRYŌ’s bulbs with a dimmable feature in your morning routine to wake up naturally and energise your family for the day ahead.
With these simple steps, you can create a home environment that supports better sleep, improved mood, and overall well-being. Start small by replacing a few key lights in your home, then expand as you and your family notice the benefits.

For more on the benefits of red light for sleep, see this clinical study.
Amber Light Research: Amber light is known to be particularly calming and closely mimics the natural light of sunsets.

Studies have found that exposure to amber light can reduce feelings of stress and anxiety, making it an ideal choice for households. For more information, check out this study on amber light’s effects.
Green Light Research: Green light at a narrowband, like the Calm Green 520nm, has been proven to have a calming effect on the nervous system. Research has shown that it helps reduce headaches and migraines while also promoting relaxation. The narrowband feature ensures that families can enjoy the relaxing benefits of green light without excessive exposure to blue light. Learn more from this study on green light’s impact.
