are there any digital alarm clocks that display the letters without being light as shit? I just want to have it being as minimal as possible, close to being like if it was turned off, I cant find that do that.
>>1508259Cover the display with tinted film.
>>1508259First off, make sure you don't get one that has blue digits because blue is bright as hell, then do what >>1508266 says.
>>1508266>>1508290any place to buy them?
>>1508394Yes.
>>1508259How about an alarm clock with an e-ink display?E-ink doesn't give off any light whatsoever.
>>1508402where?>>1508415cant see that in the dark
>>1508774>where?Google tinted film.Commonly used to tint windows.
>>1508259red you want red numbers
>>1508827still shows some light, besides I prefer green
>>1508832red doesn't mess with your night vision though, red is the way to go
>>1508841red makes me a little on edge, green feels more calmer and comfier
>>1508262..."I got you, babe!" running through my head!
>>1508774Go to Amazon and search "neutral density gels"Thin plastic sheets of grey plastic used by pro photographers. Cut with scissors, put over clock.
>>1508843>>1508832green is the wavelength our eyes are most sensitive to. Not a good choice if you don't want to be distracted in the dark.There's a reason why most nightstand clocks are red.
>>1508878Then why are a lot of them green? There are as many green as there are red alarm clocks
>>1508262>>1508870
>>1508882Lots of them are blue too, sometimes I can't read my cable box, it's shit.
>>1508882Because blue LEDs are still a trend, back from when they were new.Blue LEDs on EVERYTHING! Looks COOL and HI TECH!1No matter how impractical that may be. Like indicator lights on handhelds that burn your retina.
>>1508898>>1508903Nowadays yes, but since digital clocks began it's always red or green with blue and orange coming a lot later, anyway I will try the tinted film method
>>1508882Because >green is the wavelength our eyes are most sensitive to.Duh. Red is common because it's the easiest/cheapest to produce, and like >>1508903 said, blue was only invented in the 90s so it's "new"
