@ Wayhu and the rest of the forum. This is basically very much simplified and the science goes a lot deeper but:
Yes. F.lux is just the first step in optimizing the artificial lighting in the environment. It's terrible for your concentration, attention, focus, mood, etc when you are in front of a computer monitor all day. As I am in front of it most of the day, I have everything handled in terms of artificial lighting to improve my productivity as much as possible. F.lux is always on here, to balance the red/blue spectrum, even during the day. I supplement with full spectrum reptile lights that contain both UV and infrared, just as the sun does. Most artificial lighting and computer monitors do not contain these frequencies. Vitamin D created in the skin by UVB light only gives 20% of the total benefits of UV light. You need UV light through the eyes as well, in order to create dopamine and serotonin. Your body can also store infrared light in the body's water for later energy use. There's actually a fourth phase of water, next to liquid, gas and solid (ice). Infrared light is stored in that fourth phase in the body.
Quick edit: Even though I follow three master's degrees, I avoid the university as much as possible. It shotguns my energy levels. I wear 50% blueblocker glasses there most of the time to avoid the excessive blue light during the day. These glasses do not block all the blue light, as you need some blue light during the day. Besides bad artificial lighting setups, these places also contain lots of non-native EMF's which might also be a problem, but there is a LOT of scientific debate and controversy on this topic.
