Amberlux — Evening Blue Light Glasses
The science behind the amber tint
Screens emit blue light
Phones, laptops, and TVs concentrate light in the 460–480nm blue range — most disruptive in the hours before bed.
Your brain reads it as daytime
That wavelength activates light-sensitive cells in your eyes that signal your brain's master clock to suppress melatonin, the hormone that helps you wind down.
Amber lenses filter it out
Amberlux blocks 95–98% of that specific range, helping protect your natural melatonin release during the hours that matter most.
Frequently asked questions
Is there real research behind this, or is it just marketing?
Real research. A randomized controlled trial at Columbia University had participants wear amber lenses for 2 hours before bed for a week — and found significantly better sleep quality, total sleep time, and soundness of sleep compared to clear lenses, confirmed by both sleep diaries and actigraphy (objective wearable tracking). This isn't one small study either — a systematic review identified 16 randomized controlled trials, covering over 450 participants, on evening blue-light blocking for sleep.
How does it actually work?
Blue light in the 460–480nm range activates light-sensitive cells in your eyes (called ipRGCs) that signal your brain's master clock to suppress melatonin. Amberlux filters 95–98% of that range, helping protect your body's natural melatonin rise in the evening.
Will these fix all my sleep problems?
No single product will, and we won't pretend otherwise. The research shows a real, measurable improvement, not a miracle cure. Amberlux works best alongside good sleep habits: a consistent bedtime and a wind-down routine. Think of it as removing one real obstacle, not replacing every good habit.
Do they block all blue light? Will colors look strange?
They block 95–98% of blue light in the evening-relevant range, which does shift colors warmer through the lens — that's expected and by design. Amberlux is built for evening wind-down, not color-accurate daytime work. Not yet, atleast.
What are the frames made of?
A flexible, lightweight frame built for daily wear — designed to hold up to being tossed in a bag without snapping.
What if they don't work for me?
30-day returns, no hassle. We're a new brand — we'd rather you try Amberlux risk-free than take our word for it.
