I use a Windows app called SunsetScreen [1] to make my screen warm.

Anyone have any idea if it contributes a lot of i̶n̶f̶r̶a̶-̶r̶e̶d̶ red light that way?

No the wattage used in clinical phototherapy is much higher and concentrated in specific bands.

My much less powerful home phototherapy light weighs about 20 lbs and I have to cover my eyes with multiple layers to use it.


It does not. The red pixels don’t get any redder, it’s just turning down the other ones. These being LEDs, it has a sharp spike in the visual spectrum instead of a black-body curve that would cross into infrared.


670nm is still visible red light. Infra-red starts at wave lengths above 750
