excellent point whisky-dave,
i hadnt thought of that advantage of dim lights:
not to get dazzled and losing nightsight in the middle of the night when
going for a ****.
I'm researching dimmers, different LEDs are incompatible with some
trailing edge dimmers because LEDs are not regulated, it seems.

Use red lights if you want to retain your night vision, like on
submarines.


Interesting idea. With the fancy Philips Hue leds that do all the colors of
the
spectrum and all the color temp whites too, it would be trivial to do that.

And you dont need to fart around with any switches either,
just tell siri to do that 'scene' or use a movement sensor
which can be programmed to do that when you get up
in the middle of the night for a ****, but has normal light
when you are reading in bed etc.
