Does F.lux (FLUX) Really Work? Blue Light Filter test W/ Ghetto Science Applied.

2015-04-11
so the recent videos I've done about the dangers of white LEDs that's the LEDs going in the back here monitors and the amount of blue light they emit a lot of my viewers asked me about a program called flux and does it work and so today I thought I'd run a quick ghetto test for you guys and it shows that flux does indeed work I've been asked what do I think of flux and I don't know like I've tried it and I kind of liked the program however I'm just going to go test it right now and see if it does block out or does reduce the blue light coming out of the monitor and the good thing about this test is even though it's like ghetto science it will give you accurate results as we see here because the camera is on the exact same exposure in a controlled learning environment and the monitor in the background has a brightness control which is independent of the OSD it doesn't have an on-screen display and the computer essentially can't control the brightness directly on this monitor so the brightness is maxed out you've got that blue hinge reflecting off the glasses there so what we're going to do is we're going to now install flux and we're going to put it to night time and see how much that actual blue light goes down or if it does go down at all so let's have a look so we've now installed flux on the computer and I just decided to set it somewhere in the middle of America I think it's like 3:00 a.m. or something so the color temperature is like down to like 4,000 or unjust under that but anyway I think it does actually make a difference like you can see there the difference between not having it installed and installed you can see them out of blue light coming off those glasses is a lot less than it was in the previous video like the actual previous test with it without clocks installed so flux does help like it does help you so I can't recommend it so there you go and anyways I don't think I need to do a conclusion nuff said like flux works so if you had to tell you those two parts into the whole total I'd say they'd come around just under five hundred dollars and though for the performance in the bang for buck it is certainly worth it with this thing performing pretty much better than a four core has well over cloth and then seriously putting out six
