Amber Lighting
By Dr. Meg Christensen | Updated January 2026
Amber lighting offers a warmer, more natural alternative to red bulbs for evening hours—warm enough to support melatonin production while still creating a cozy, lived-in atmosphere. These are the best blue-free amber bulbs, 1800K options, and vintage-style incandescents for winding down at night.
Block Blue Light Sweet Dreams Amber 1800K LED Bulb
Block Blue Light’s Sweet Dreams light bulb casts a warm amber light, and is 100% blue light free, green light free, and flicker-free. These are nice if a red light bulb is too much for you— these cast a more natural evening glow than red, and are still ideal for evening hours, and circadian rhythm supportive. Perfect if you don’t want to adjust the Kelvin temperature or deal with an app. 10% off automatically applied through this link.
Hudson Bulb Co Incandescent Edison Light Bulb
I have these vintage incandescent Edison bulbs in just about every shape and size in my house because they’re the best amber lighting in my opinion. While regular incandescents have been phased out in the US, specialty incandescents can still be sold. Hudson Bulb Co makes both these, as well as dimmable amber LED Edison bulbs in the warm and cozy 2200K temperature.
Loftie, makers of circadian rhythm friendly sunrise alarm clock and lamps, also makes these sleep friendly night lights in amber (and red) light that keep you safe when going to the bathroom or moving around your home after dark. They turn on at dusk and off at sunrise automatically and plug directly into your wall so once they’re set up, you never have to worry about them again!
Philips Hue 1000K White Ambience Lightbulb
LED light bulb technology is getting better every year, and these new bulbs by Philips get down to 1000K— the warmest of warm temperatures. These are technically full spectrum bulbs, so you can also adjust them upwards to 20,000K, and adjust their brightness level in just as impressive a range. Smart bulbs that you control with an app.
