Default Blue light is apparently harmful to your health

So I read this interesting article a few weeks about how blue light is (or can be) harmful to your health:

https://www.health.harvard.edu/stayi...as-a-dark-side

It just occurred to me that this might be an interesting topic for discussion. I know that pretty much everyone is running some form of blue light on their tanks, even at night time (evening) hours. My 22K T5s used to to run all the way to 10pm so that I could enjoy my tank. I've since reduced that by an hour and now cut them off at 9pm.

Haven't read the article yet. No time now. Thanks for the link.
My blues turn off @ 10 and will stay that way for now.

Article read. It won't affect my tank lighting schedule, but it may cause me to change the lighting over my wife's home workstation. She tends to not get tired while working and then stays up too late.
Thanks Keener
