How To Use Blue Light Filter In Windows 10

Introduction

An additional quality feature in Windows 10 is to enable a blue (night) light filter. Users can enable blue light filters in Windows 10 by using the built-in night light feature and also by third-party apps as well. However, it is not a well-known feature among most Windows users.

Some monitors also have this in-built blue light filters or eye saver mode feature. For those users who have ordinary monitors that don't support night light or eye-saver mode features, Windows 10 has this unique feature.

A survey has shown that frequent exposure to blue light for hours on end can lead to damaged retinal cells. This can cause eye problems. Users who have to work long hours on blue (normal) light screens suffer eye strain and headache problems.

However, in Windows 10 there is a remedy. By enabling the eye-saver mode (night light) feature, users can protect themselves from these problems.

Users can also schedule the night light or eye-saver mode for a particular time or duration as per their requirements.

This tutorial will show you various steps on how to enable the blue light mode or eye saver mode (set up the night light warmer color) in Windows 10.

Step 1. From the start menu, click on the "Settings" button.

Note. Alternatively, by pressing the "Windows + I " key, you can directly open the "Windows Settings".

Step 2. "Windows Settings" will appear on the screen and then, click on the "System" option.

Step 3. Click on the "Display" option.

Step 4. Click on the "Night light settings" option.

Step 5. Now, turn on the night light settings.

Step 6. By sliding, you can adjust the warmer color temperature at night as per your requirement.

Schedule night light

If you want to schedule the night light warmer color or eye-saver mode for a particular time or duration, then follow the instructions below.

Step 7. "Turn On" the "Schedule night light" option.

Step 8. Under the "Set hours" radio button, you can set the turn-on and turn-off times.

In my case, I set up the turn-on time as 7:00 PM and the turn-off time as 2:30 AM. This means it will automatically turn on the night light warmer color or eye saver mode at 7:00 PM and turn it off at 2:30 AM.
