Digital Dusk Protocol | Circadian Architecture

The Culinary Zone Audit

Cover the oven, microwave, and coffee maker digital displays with monochromatic red vinyl film.
Mask the blue power LEDs on air purifiers and water filtration systems.
Disconnect or tape over the internal white LEDs in refrigerators; these are massive sources of vertical lux.
Verify that under-cabinet task lighting is either disabled or swapped for 670nm crimson strips.
Eliminate the use of smart screens or tablet recipe displays during the protocol window.

Cover the standby lights on television panels, soundbars, and gaming consoles with light-blocking stickers.
Apply red tape over the high-frequency blue activity lights on internet routers and modems.
Replace overhead recessed bulbs with warm amber emitters (below 2000K) or clinical red sources.
Install heavy-gauge blackout curtains to eliminate nocturnal streetlamp and security light bleed.
Identify and mask the glowing status lights on smart home hubs and security panels.

Enable the Color Filter accessibility feature on smartphones to render the entire OS in monochromatic red.
Establish a hard-stop for all scrolling activities two hours before the protocol begins.
Utilize physical blue-light blocking eyewear (orange or red lenses) for any unavoidable screen exposure.
Disable raise-to-wake and notification-wake features on smartphones and tablets.
Switch all digital interfaces to true OLED Dark Mode to minimize total light emission.

Install motion-activated 670nm red navigation lights along baseboards in hallways and bathrooms.
Ensure that nightlights are placed below knee level to minimize direct retinal exposure.
Audit the bathroom vanity; identify the lux output of mirror-integrated lighting and disable.
Remove all parasitic light sources (chargers, power strips) from the immediate sleeping area.
Set smart home automations to trigger only red-shifted light scenes after sunset.
