The same moment at night by a phone flashlight and by a red glow

4.9200+ verified reviews

Phone flashlight or a red glow: which one at night?

You get up and reach for the phone flashlight. The white beam wakes you, and often your partner too. A small red light gives enough light to find the door, with both hands free. Here is the same moment with both.

Stay in night mode

The flashlight is the brightest light in the room.

At night your eyes open wide to catch every bit of light. Then a white LED beam hits them from up close. Your brain reads it as daytime, and whoever is next to you wakes up too.

The same night. Slide to compare.

Red is the colour your body clock reacts to least. Enough light to find the door. Not enough to wake anyone.

Measured, not guessed

40% blue

A standard white LED puts up to 40% of its light into blue. A phone flashlight is a white LED.

Blue is the part of white light the body clock reacts to most. Cool white LED bulbs put 30 to 40% of their light into blue. Red light at 670nm carries none.

Stay in night mode

Five lamps. One bedroom. Tap to switch.

The same room at night with each lamp people use as a night light.

Tap a lamp and watch the room

The same bedroom at night, lit by salt The same bedroom at night, lit by sunset The same bedroom at night, lit by mushroom The same bedroom at night, lit by bedside The same bedroom at night, lit by red light

Salt

A warm orange glow. Lovely in the evening, and it lights the whole room. It stays plugged in on one table.

Sunset

A big orange circle on the wall. Pretty, and bright enough that the whole room wakes up with you.

Mushroom

A soft warm white. It is still white light, and it does not go down to a faint glow.

Bedside

A warm bulb under a shade. Fine for reading. At night it lights both sides of the bed.

Red light

One small corner of red light. Enough to see. The room stays night.

I carry it from the bedroom to the nursery and back. No cables, no plug. For new parents this is essential. I wish I know about this before.

Brilliant

For the bathroom at night this is perfect. I take it with me, do what I need, and fall back asleep in minutes. Before the bright light was destroying my sleep.

My wife sleeps while I'm still reading. The red light doesn't bother her at all. With the old bedside lamp that was impossible.

Questions people ask

Why red, and not warm white?

Warm white is softer, but still carries 15 to 21 percent blue light (U.S. Department of Energy, 2017). Warm light is better than harsh white. It is still not the same thing. Lampiero has a warm white mode for when you need more light, and red for the night.

Is a red bulb not the same?

Not always. A red-tinted bulb may look red but still gives off blue and green light. Lampiero's red mode uses 670nm LEDs: red only, zero blue light.

Do I still need my phone at night?

Only if you want it. With a red glow by the bed, you do not need the flashlight to find your way.

How dim does it go?

Down to a faint glow you can just change a nappy by. Slide a finger along the arc on the top to set it. It comes back on where you left it.

Does it need a socket?

No. It charges by USB-C and lasts about a week of nights. No cable by the bed at night.

When will it arrive?

Shipping is free, worldwide. Most orders arrive in 8 to 13 days, tracked. You get the tracking link by email when it ships. See delivery times by country.

What if it does nothing for me?

Use it for 30 nights. If it does nothing for your nights, send it back for a full refund. No hassle.
