How to Adjust Night Light Strength in Windows 11

This article describes steps one can take to change the strength of Night Light in Windows 11.

Your computer displays the blue light you typically see during the day, which may keep you up at Night. In addition, the blue light your computer monitor emits can contribute to sleeplessness and eye strain after dark.

To help you get to sleep, turn on the night light, and your display will show warmer colors at Night that are easier on your eyes. If Windows’ default Night light settings are uncomfortable for your eyes, you can manually adjust the strength of the emitting light.

The Night light strength level is measured in Kelvin, and one can choose between 0 (6500K) to 100 (1200K) in Windows.

Below is how to manually adjust the Night light strength in Windows 11.
