Been using that for the past year+. It was a bit strange at first, but I got used to it real fast, don't even notice it anymore.

Have it installed on every comp I use...and couldn't live without it. When I turn it off at night my screen just starts hurting my eyes and can't believe I hadn't been using it all along.

Only depressing thing about it is when you notice it dimming / turning red for a week in a row since you have been at your comp everyday at sundown and you think - damn I really need to get off my computer :oldlol:

[1987_Lakers]

This is awesome. Thanks.

For me its been only couple of months. I wish I had known about it long time ago though. Heaven for the eyes.

Yeah it really is. Supposedly also helps regulate your sleep cycle since the bright monitor simulates sunlight and thus your subconscious wants to stay awake.

Can't say it's really had an improvement in that aspect of my life, but you never know.

[Alonzo Magic]

Dude, ****ing awesome! Thanks.

[Bucket_Nakedz]

[pete's montreux]

It's suppose to have a red-hint mimicking only slight light at night.

I'm sure your eyes are fine. Must be your computer or something. At least I hope so........

You still having that problem?

[The Big Skinny]

i just Dl'd it. Does it work automatically? so at like 3 am it will become red?

It gives you the option for a 24h preview.

[bagelred]

Where? I don't see that.

EDIT: Just figured it out. Click on the sun.

[bisk]

Where? I don't see that.

Right-click the icon.

[dunksby]

Thanks alot man, its great!

[brownmamba00]

I dont think its working for me. I got a windows 7 does it have anyting to do with that?

I have Windows 7. When it runs it'll be in the bottom taskbar. Set it to your location. then you can preview it. Basically all it does it keep track of the sunlight in your area. When it gets dark out it'll automatically give a red hue to the screen so it's easier on your eyes. Especially if you watch stuff in the dark.

It works:cheers:

[Patrick Chewing]

Am I the only one having trouble looking at the screen when this program dims it at night??

[Lebowsky]

Nice program, much appreciated.

[falc39]

haha well im going to keep using it i guess, maybe i just need to adjust to it.

looking at a red screen just feels very unnatural, if anything, it reminds me of the sun and daylight. i have a pretty big monitor so it seems a little overwhelming at first.. maybe i will get the hang of it tonight

[Eat Like A Bosh]

What does it do? Dim the screen?

[bagelred]

I like this program so much, I installed it directly into my eyeballs.

[lefthook00]

So it's easier on your eyes during the evening? This only helps you if you use your computer at night in a room with dimmed lights? What if you work late at night in the office with the lights on?

[Vragrant]

Wow I just installed it. This thing is amazing. :cheers:

[Is He Ill]

I installed it earlier and this felt really odd for the first 10 minutes, but it makes a huge difference.

[Jailblazers7]

Yeah it does make a difference. I like it and I was looking for a way to minimize the strain on my eyes. Thanks to the OP.

[Hazard]

This might be the most amazing thing ever. Genius. Thanks a lot for sharing.

[Ruh-Roh]

Wow...this is different...

["Jesus"]

Thanks, mate. Appreciate it.

[ALBballer]

I installed it on Ubuntu and I don't notice much of a difference. I unpaused the program and don't see a difference. Amidoingitwrong?

[AznTacoLover]

A little getting used to! but good look man

[Meticode]

When you set your location right click the icon in your notification bar area and select "Preview" it'll show you how it changes.

[BMore]

Don't want to sound like a crazy person, but is this a safe download? My computer's security program has been acting up.

Yes.

[nightprowler10]

This is pretty ****ing cool.

[LilBTheBasedGod]

nice. :cheers:

[BMore]

Just downloaded it, and my eyes felt better literally right after. Thank you op

[ImmortalNemesis]

I downloaded it and can't see the difference. Maybe my eyes are already f*cked up. :facepalm

[Meticode]

After you install it and it and it's running go to your notification icon taskbar area. Right click it. Set your location. Then also try the preview. At first it's weird. The red hue is so noticeable at night when it switches. Then after a couple minutes you don't even notice it that much.

[BMore]

Check to make sure the time on your computer is accurate

[IamSofaKing]

How does this save my eyes? By making it dimmer at night?

It just has an annoying red hue at night

I just installed it. Made my screen look orangy. Is it supposed to do that?

[bisk]

Yea. After some time you won't notice it anymore and it will look natural.

The difference is pretty crazy. Like in a week, when you're on the pc in the evening, turn off the program just to check it. The sudden brightness will make you look away.:lol

[Flagrant 2]

**** yeah. Thanks OP!

[Just2McFly]

do they have this for phones?

[Geriatric]

Three thumbs up!!!


Hey wait, it's darker in here and I don't think that's my thumb....

[RaininThrees]

I installed this and literally felt a shift in my brain.

Crazy.

[Qwyjibo]

What the hell... I thought this was some random crap but then reading the comments and it seems like the most well received thing EVER on this forum.

Does thing running interfere with gaming in any way?

[DirkNowitzki41]

I've been using this for a year now, good stuff. I'm so used to it,
I forget I even have the program.

Try turning it off for a second.. I'm still shocked how bright it usually is.. ****.

[LJJ]

I wish there was some way to also automatically turn the brightness of my screen down to coincide with flux.

That said the difference is huge. I miss it when I'm behind my work PC screen in the evening.

[stax]

Used it yesterday evening and had a noticeably better night's sleep, however it's Sunday which may be a factor. Either way I'm gonna keep it.

It can be easily disabled for an hour via the toolbar icon. Without that option I probably would've uninstalled it, cos I visit photo-heavy sites and use Photoshop a fair bit.

[millwad]

Just downloaded it and tested and the more orange base looks so nice.

[millwad]

Wow, this is so great.

I've written a report all day long and whenever I use computers this long I get killer headaches. Either it's just random but I have no headache now and my eyes are not bothered by the light like they always are without the F.LUX..

Even though OP is banned I'm really grateful for his post!

[bmulls]

My screen just started turning red and I freaked out a little before I remembered I downloaded this yesterday :lol

It's nice, definitely easier on the eyes

[JohnnySic]

I love this. :cheers:

[TheSilentKiller]

It seems weird but I will give it a shot and see what happens.

[alenleomessi]

thanks to this thread my eyesight is saved

[Solidape]

Just downloaded it based strictly on the comments from you guys. Hope this isn't some joking troll thread that I am falling victim too.

Ps. My screen turned orangey at night.

[IGotACoolStory]

Pretty much this. But I will give it a shot for a few days for my eyes to get used to the ugly red tint on my screen. See if it makes any difference... Right now it's actually making it more difficult to read text. Almost blurry.

[NotYetGreat]

Been using it for a little over a year now and I don't get headaches or sore eyes as much as I used to, which wasn't often to begin with, but yeah, this little program helped.

[Jakeh008]

New computer
Google "Save your eyesight ish"

Bump the thread

Must have for Mac users imo.

still stands true

[LongLiveTheKing]

Double Edit: the tint annoys me.

[tmacattack33]

I don't get it, but damn, everyone who is commenting in this thread and has used it apparently loves it.

I'll try it on my laptop at home.

[chazzy]

It automatically adjusts your screen's brightness with the passage of time. Less strain on your eyes at night

[ace23]

Will this help if I already always have my screen on the lowest brightness?

[Peteballa]

Will this help if I already always have my screen on the lowest brightness?

Yeah dude, I'm on my lowest brightness and it still helped a lot. Got it today and seriously, it's on another level of usefulness. Once you start using it you realize how looking at your computer normally is like looking at the sun.

[Jakeh008]

It adds a tint. It it weird at first but you forget about it pretty quick. The only time I notice it is when it turns on in the evening. But within 10 seconds i forget about it again

[ace23]

Well, Trend Micro is not letting me download. I'll try it tomorrow.

[eriX]

after i got it for like 30 minutes i was so used it already that when i turned it off my eyes were immediately strained from the brightness of the my screen :applause:

[MavsSuperFan]

I had no idea I was doing that much damage to my eyes amazing.

[Graviton]

This thing is amazing, after 30 minutes of getting used to it, your eyes feel so much better. I can actually look at my screen without blinking like 40 times a minute. When you turn it off you see just how extreme the regular brightness is.
