detailed characteristics of their lights in PDFs full of scientific graphics, bu
t probably impossible to know with lights designed in China. Do you know the pre

Some tips : lower the contrast as much as possible on your screen and increase t
he luminosity to compensate. Use a software like Redshift and set it between 270
