Default Re: Red Light

The first time that I read about this was on one of the threads of cypher's hams. I don't know the scientific explanation of why it works, as it was something that she used, that apparently worked, and that I tried and worked, so I didn't give it much thought. Maybe it's because they already have a poor vision, or maybe it's like us with UVB light.

However I've also read (I think that she said that, but I could be wrong), that they don't see very well the red light but they notice that it's not 100% dark, so it could mess with their cycles if you leave the light turned on the whole night.

So if anyone can't corroborate otherwise I would use it to spy on them from time to time but I wouldn't let it turn on as a regular basis the whole night.

I use the ikea ledberg light. it costs 15 euros.
