Blue Light Blocking
Glasses

These are the glasses I use myself, every single night. Spectrometer-tested across four protection levels - from a clear lens that knocks out the UV and violet range invisible to the eye, right up to a 99%+ red lens for the final hour before sleep. Whether you're trying to fix a broken søvnrytme, cut down on late-night skjermtid, or just stop lying awake wondering why - this is where to start. Pair with my circadian lighting for complete light management, morning to night.

4 Protection Levels
99%+ Maximum Blocking
Tested By Spectrometer

Choose Your Protection Level

Daytime screen comfort through to maximum evening melatonin protection - verified by spectrometer, not marketing copy.

40%

Clear Lens

Daytime

Best for: Daytime computer work, office environments and colour-critical tasks. Targets the UV and violet range (360–430nm) invisibly - the wavelengths most linked to retinal stress - with zero visible tint.

75%

Yellow Lens

Early Evening

Best for: Late afternoon and early evening transition. Extended screen sessions, or if you notice you're wired by the time you try to sleep. A solid starting point for most people new to blålysbriller.

97%

Orange Lens

Evening

Best for: Evening screen use 30–90 minutes before bed. Near-total blue elimination while still letting you move around indoors comfortably. The lens most people should start with.

99%+

Red Lens

Pre-Sleep

Best for: The final wind-down before sleep. Blocks blue and green light - the complete melatonin-suppressing range. Serious tool for serious sleep. Not for navigating around the house.

I Tested These With a Spectrometer

Most blue light glasses companies publish a blocking percentage with no evidence behind it. I actually ran these through a spectrometer - measuring real light transmission across the full spectrum from 340nm to 1000nm - and published the results. Every number on this page reflects a real measurement.

The clear lens surprised me. It looks like plain glass, but spectrometer testing shows a genuine 40% reduction in the 360–430nm range - the UV and violet wavelengths most linked to retinal stress and melatonin suppression. Most brands skip this range entirely because it's invisible and doesn't photograph dramatically. I didn't.

This matters if you're pairing with circadian lighting - you want to know the full system is actually working, not just marketed to work.

Dominic's note: I wear orange in the evening and switch to red about 45 minutes before sleep. The clear lens goes on at the computer during the day - it's invisible but I notice the difference on long screen days. The yellow is what I recommend for people just starting out.

How to Build Your Evening Light Protocol

Start light, go darker as you approach sleep - and always get your morning light unfiltered first

Morning ☀️

No Glasses - Get Morning Light

Unfiltered morning sunlight anchors your circadian rhythm. Never wear blue light glasses outdoors or in morning light. This is the signal your entire sleep system depends on.

Daytime 💻

Clear Lens at the Screen

For long computer days, the clear lens handles UV and violet stress invisibly. No colour distortion, no noticeable tint. Comfortable for full-day office use.

Evening 🌆

Yellow → Orange After Sunset

Switch to yellow when natural light fades. Move to orange 30–90 minutes before bed. Pair with circadian bulbs in the room for complete coverage.

Pre-Sleep 🌙

Red for Final Wind-Down

The red lens blocks blue and green - the full melatonin-suppressing range. Put these on for the last 30–45 minutes before lights out. Not for moving around the house.


What to Do - and What Not to Do

Two rules matter more than everything else

Do: Get morning light first, every day

Bright outdoor light in the first hour after waking - including blue and UV - sets your entire circadian programme for the day. It determines when cortisol peaks, when alertness fades, and when melatonin releases. This is the most important thing. No glasses.

Don't: Wear blue light glasses outdoors

Never wear tinted lenses outside. Sunlight contains the full spectrum your biology requires. Filtering it disrupts the circadian signals you're trying to protect. These glasses are exclusively an indoor, artificial-light tool - to be used after the sun goes down.

Do: Combine with circadian lighting

The glasses handle your screens. Circadian bulbs handle the room. Both together create a complete light environment that supports natural melatonin production from sunset to sleep.

Don't: Start with the red lens

Red lenses are a specific pre-sleep tool - not an all-evening solution. The significant colour distortion makes normal activities impractical. Build the habit with yellow or orange first. Red is the final step in the protocol, not the whole thing.


Frequently Asked Questions

What are blue light blocking glasses and do they actually work? +

Blue light blocking glasses use tinted lenses to filter blue wavelengths from screens and LED lighting. I tested these myself with a spectrometer - measuring actual light transmission across the full spectrum from 340nm to 1000nm. The results confirm genuine, measurable blocking at every lens level. Research supports that reducing evening blue light preserves melatonin production. Pair with circadian lighting for complete coverage.

Why does the clear lens matter - it looks like plain glass? +

The clear lens eliminates UV and violet light in the 360–430nm range - the wavelengths most associated with retinal stress and melatonin suppression - with zero visible tint. Spectrometer testing shows a 40% reduction in short-wavelength light. Most blue light glasses skip this range entirely because it's invisible and doesn't photograph dramatically. This one starts where the damage actually begins.

Should I wear blue light blocking glasses all day? +

No - and this matters. Morning light exposure anchors your circadian rhythm, sets your cortisol peak, and programmes when melatonin releases that evening. Blocking those signals at the wrong time works against you. Blue light blocking glasses are an evening tool. Put them on when the sun goes down or when artificial lighting takes over - not before.

Can I wear blue light blocking glasses outside? +

No. Never wear blue light blocking lenses outdoors. Sunlight contains the full spectrum your circadian system depends on - blocking it outdoors disrupts the very signals you're trying to protect. These glasses are designed for artificial light environments: screens, LED and fluorescent lighting indoors after dark.

Do I need blue light glasses if I already have circadian lighting? +

Yes - they solve different problems. Circadian lighting controls your room environment. Blue light blocking glasses handle screens - your phone, laptop and TV emit significant blue light regardless of what your ceiling lights are doing. For complete evening light management you need both.

Når bør jeg begynne å bruke blålysbriller om kvelden? +

Start med klare eller gule linser når du beveger deg innendørs under kunstig lys om kvelden. Bytt til oransje 30–60 minutter før leggetid, og bruk røde linser for den siste nedtrappingen. Viktigste prinsipp: få morgenlyset ditt først, ufiltrert. Brillene kommer på senere.

Er Afterdark blålysbriller tilgjengelige i Norge? +

Ja - Home Light Therapy i Drammen har Afterdark blålysbriller på lager i alle fire beskyttelsesnivåer med rask levering fra norsk lager. Ingen importkostnader, ingen forsinkelser fra utlandet.


Glasses Are One Part of the System

For complete circadian management, pair your blålysbriller with the right room lighting and a morning light protocol.

🌙

Circadian Lighting

The room lighting half of the equation. Sirkadisk belysning handles the ambient environment - the glasses handle screens. Both together close all the gaps.
