Lunar plug

Unrelated to dark mode, but is a visual game changer.

People should also take the time out to get appropriate light bulbs for their studies and work desks.

I want to speak more on visual settings in web design and GUIs, but I’m eating some corn chips. In brief, I’m starting to understand that accessibility concerns don’t refer exclusively to people with certain conditions, but even those who want to use computers comfortably.



>get appropriate light bulbs for their studies and work desks.

What are these?


You know like in lamps or light fixtures. Get the right color temperature for your surroundings and needs and what not.

For example, for some deranged reason I felt that it was appropriate to have my entire study engulfed in Daylight lightbulbs. The three bulbs in the ceiling fan and the tall lamp next to my desk. Daylight. I must have figured, “Man, I do a lot of reading”, or something like that. Daylight.

This went on for quite sometime. I would often receive comments about how the lamp would serve better for interrogations, but I kept on with this setup until I got a monitor for my laptop. This required a non-impeding alteration to the layout of my desk. The height and bend of the lamp had to be changed, I had to change how I sat to accommodate how I looked at the monitor, or when I was using both the laptop and monitor. Stuff like that.

It wasn’t until my right eye began to feel dry that I decided to make a change. So I spent some time learning how to choose the right lightbulb. I did not need daylight. I was not in a restroom or operating a security camera. I needed something warmer. So I got something warmer and I use Lunar.


This is why I use colour changing LED bulbs. During the day I have them in the bluer parts of the spectrum, and as the night goes they are automatically switched to warmer colour temps, and dimmer brightness settings.


They're things that you can't get your employer to install in your office.
