How to Enable Night Light in Windows 11

This post shows students and new users how to enable and use Windows 11 Light.

There may be concerns about the amount of blue light emitted by your computer screen and its potential impact on your eye health over time. The blue light from your monitor can contribute to eye strain and may also lead to difficulties sleeping, especially when used in the evening.

Understanding how to enable Night Light in Windows 11 is important because it minimizes the blue light emitted by your computer screen, helping to reduce eye strain and improve sleep quality.

Enabling the Night Light feature on your computer will adjust the screen to display warmer colors, which are gentler on your eyes, particularly during late-night use. This feature can be scheduled to turn on and off automatically, providing a convenient way to protect your eye health.

Turn on the Night Light in Windows 11

To enable this feature in Windows 11, click on Start and select Settings, as shown below.

On the System Settings page, select Display.

When the Display settings page opens, go to the Night light and toggle the button to turn.

The night light should now be active. If activated at night, you should immediately see your desktop screen emitting less blue and switching to a warmer color to help you sleep.

If the color strength is unsatisfactory, you can adjust it as needed. An arrow is located to the right of the toggle button.

Click on that to bring more settings or night light.

Now, you can adjust the strength of the color to your desire by toggling on a line that ranges from 1 to 100. The closer you move this toggle to 100, the warmer the night light gets.

Schedule Night Light

You can also schedule Night Light to automatically adjust your screen brightness at a certain time of the night. By default, the schedule is set for sunset to sunrise or from (9:05 PM to 5:33 AM).

The Sunset to Sunrise option automatically warms the temperature of your computer monitor after sunset. Again, this makes the Display easier on your eyes and reduces eye strain.

If this schedule isn’t suitable for your case, you can adjust the time here and schedule by manually setting the hours.

If you work late at night and feel your eye is strained, you may want to enable this feature. It may come in handy, especially for late-night owls.

Conclusion:

• Enabling Night light on Windows 11 is a simple yet effective way to reduce blue light exposure.
• The feature provides a warmer color temperature that is easier on the eyes, promoting better sleep quality.
• Users can easily customize the strength of the Night light to suit personal preferences.
