f.lux Editor's Review

f.lux, which is generally referred to as simply flux is a handy free to download tool for windows which allows you to greatly reduce the eye strain and headaches you get from looking at your screen in just one handy bundle download. This is an option as opposed to getting special glasses or lighting to do so, and since it is implemented through software as well as the major cost advantage it has many advantages in flexibility. The idea alone of flux is great, but does it live up to this great ideal?

The way flux works is very interesting, as it suggests that screens are designed to look like the sun so that they attract your eye and provide light so that it is smooth and comfortable during the day. However this is problematic in low light situations, especially at night when things do not need to be as bright, and it will cause headaches if you look at it for too long, as well as giving you sleep problems if this is near the time you sleep (“because you're not supposed to be looking at the sun at night”). This is the problem flux fixes, by adding more saturation and colour changing to the screen, which makes it much more bearable to look at.

How does flux add the correct amount of colour correction to make it bearable? This is the question most commonly asked afterwards, as throughout the day the level of lighting and the warmth of it that are needed to make the smoothness changes dramatically, and a single filter could not help much at all. This is where localisation comes into play, by entering your nearest city, it measures light levels throughout the day, and adjusts your screen (very very s

Flux is great at preventing headaches and helping sleep but its use doesn't stop there. It has options involved to help people who just want their screen to look slightly cooler. Why would you want this? The slight amber tint added to the screen actually makes a lot of colours look better through it. If this is preferred, the options you can choose include adding the tint to full screen options (namely games and movies) as well as disabling change throughout the day, with options to turn it off with a hot key for things which are hard to discern through it. This secondary feature is great, and allows you to feel the effects of flux even if late night computer usage isn't a thing you do.

Overall flux is a great piece of software that really improves the look and feel of computer systems, and has the extreme benefit of helping to reduce eye strain and headaches. It may take some time to get used to the slight tint it applies to your screen, but it is a small period definitely worth doing as it allows you to experience one of the better screen improvements out there.

5/5
