The article doesn't seem to have a specific context. It talks about being in the car driving, but also about being in bed trying to go to sleep.

I'm not saying that you should have blue lighting in your bedroom, we know it's bad. The author did little research before writing this, and invoked authority (the military) without being aware that you can invoke the same authority to promote blue lighting.

Oh I agree with you about the article. Even with cars she shows an example from BMW that rather spoils his point - that's BMW since they adopted lighting as decoration like everyone else, white with some red highlights. My old BM 5 series was a very orange place rather more like the aircraft cockpit illustrated.

In fact all my old cars were - because the first thing I'd do on buying was turn the brightness for instruments right down. With incandescent bulbs that meant they became orange. My current car reduces brightness but keeps colour that I really wish I could do something about.

The author is female, so “she” not “he” :)
