I’m not talking exactly about light sensitive, because that has connotations.

I’m talking about you notice immediately when lights are too bright and the color temperature is too white. Or you are very attuned to sunlight.

Are you asking if we're autistic?

Yes.

I am aware of when my lights are on.

What are these connotations you speak of?

Yes… I’m not a woman (wild animal), so I cannot see in the dark.

Wow... spooky... My bedroom lamp is on right now and I can totally see it.





I am pretty light sensitive... I think my eyeballs thinned out from 20 years of adderall. Quit it cold turkey a year more or less into covid but that and noise sensitivity remain.

Of course. I rewired an old lamp today I haven't used in forever and it had an old Compact Florescent and when I turned it on it was a cold white light as opposed to my 2700k led lights. Had to change the bulb

I'm photosensitive. I don't consciously think about it, but my body is obviously aware. I'll sneeze twice if my body thinks its suddenly been exposed to sunlight temperature.

I trained as an ISF video display calibrator and have tools used to do that. My eye is very trained to notice differences in grey scale and color. You can't just do it off of something on streaming, and you shouldn't try to adjust a TV or color display without having a colorimeter. I used to be hired by home theater contractors to fly in and calibrate their projectors in their client's custom home theaters. back when a really good video projector cost $90,000. I even got a write up, once, in Audio Video Interiors, a major publication in that field.

Anyway, when I visit my family back in Louisiana they hide the remotes from me because I want to adjust their TVs which are all kinds of whacked, except my mom. She let's me fine tune her $399 65" Philips QLED and it looks nearly as good as my much more expensive LG and Sony OLED TVs.

Well, my wife had never met a light she couldn't turn on nor one she could turn off.

Do you mean light sensitive, because I think all non blind people are aware of light.

Maybe? To me light sensitive implies that light is causing a negative reaction.

Maybe light focused is a better phrase.

To that end, I mostly do not light bright places and cold white LED light. There are some notable exceptions like a workbench. But in a restaurant? It should we warm, dim light.
