Green light exposure may reduce Fear based Anxiety and Opioid Use

I have had the Sota Light Works for years, it came with a variety of color wands:

Thanks, it is an interesting addition to this thread. I like the description at page 2 of the pdf:

Giving the “Green Light” to Stess Reduction - Holistic Primary Care

Regular exposure to dichromatic (also called “dichroic”) light is an effective modality for positively influencing the neural pathways between the eyes and the brain in ways that help to reduce the negative impact of chronic stress, and to help the body shift toward greater balance.

@Inaut - Thanks, those were great pieces of information to further support for the idea that green light contributes to stress reduction. I do not see the need to purchase special dichromatic bulbs. Green eyeglasses are working fine for me and green LED lights have been shown to work as well. The eyeglasses lower the amount of light (darken) that enters the eye and I consider that to be a good thing. It does suggest that I have to wear my green eyeglasses for a longer period of time to get the same effect and I am okay with that.

I’ve ordered a bulb which I will test out. I’m curious to see if it has any beneficial effects on the skin (like that of red light).

Great , let me know your test results.

Interesting.

I remember reading an article on the "scientifically proven" benefits of green on creativity.

A few libraries were mentioned that decided to repaint all their walls green for that reason.

Thanks for the information. I am going to stay the course with the green eyeglasses for now. They act as 'sun glasses' to darken the reflectance of the bright snow.

i bought the glasses and look forward to using them
And may well get the dichro bulb as well

Let me know how your experiment goes. I do not have any medical need to purchase a dichro bulb and so I will wait and see if the green eyeglasses work to keep the winter doldrums to a minimum.

In addition, I am not convinced that the special bulbs are necessary because green LEDs emit green light in a very narrow brandwidth similar to that used in the rat study. 524nm is about 525 nm.

Research gives green light for migraine relief

New research suggests that exposure to green light of a particular wavelength and brightness may relieve migraines just as effectively as drugs.

www.medicalnewstoday.com

all 29 individuals spent 1–2 hours daily with an LED strip emitting green light with a wavelength of about 525 nanometers and the same brightness as the white light.

I see a lot of 'flood light' style bulbs in the dichromatic green bulbs available, but has anyone found a proper bulb that is a standard round bulb style in the dichromatic green? Other than my Light Works machine, I was thinking about putting some green bulbs in certain areas of my house that I some time in, but i don't want to get just any green bulb that is not the proper dichromatic green, like Dr. J talks about. The flood light triangular bulbs won't fit in some of my lights.

This thread from 2013 cites a 1991 study that suggests that green light induced greater antidepressant effects than red light for seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

From the graphs below, it appears that the move from natural lighting to incandescents was very unnatural and that the current move to halgons or LEDs by themselves is not truly corrective.

Thanks I knew about Syntonic Therapy but I did not realize there was so much science behind it.

Thanks, it is always nice to read about the physiology behind the effects light.

Incidently, I used a handheld green light device today for the first time. Silly me, I was surprised that it came with blackout goggles for my eyes. Maybe it is just a liability issue.

Thanks yet again. I do my best not to shine any lights directly into my eyes.

Sorry if I’m clogging up the thread now... You really piqued my interest in this field again.

Just received my green dichro bulb today. Turned off all the lights and turned it on....The light is sooooo soothing. Very different from an led.

Now I know why they are used in theatre.
