The sun’s light naturally changes color throughout the course of the day, and human biology appears to take cues from that. In addition to saving a lot of energy compared with traditional or fluorescent bulbs, you can do a lot of other color things with multicolored smartbulbs. Some folks have them automatically flash purple to remind children of their bedtime. Smarthome bulbs should not, however, be seen as panacea. Many of these devices are first generation. Most current LEDs don’t emit in all the wavelengths that human eyes are known to detect (infrared wavelengths, used for circadian rhythms, is missing from most of these systems). Nor are these devices marketed (or intended) to treat medical conditions.
