Do your products reduce the blue light effect as much as incandescent?
I've been reading up on blue light side effects from fluorescent and LED lighting. Damage to mitochondria, particularly in the eyes. Do your products reduce that blue light effect as much as incandescent?
You may be interested in referencing the M/P ratio in determining the relative amounts of blue light content in various light bulb products.
Incandescent bulbs generally have an M/P ratio of 0.55, which suggests that approximately 55% of the light emitted from the light source is considered to be in the blue wavelength range.
Our Lux24 circadian lamps, on the other hand, have an M/P ratio of 0.39, which reduces the blue light content even further to 39%. Please see below for the product link and additional information on blue light:

So it sounds like from the blue light perspective your bulbs are an even better alternative than incandescent.
Yes, but it is also important to keep in mind that other factors, such as proximity to the lamp as well as exposure duration, and time of day (e.g. close to bedtime) can all be important factors to consider as well.
