We have replaced all the lights in our house with dimmer switches and the light bulbs in our living room with green light bulbs. The green accompanied by the dimmer switch has been very helpful when I have my everyday migraine. It allows me to leave my darkened bedroom and move about the house more freely without fear of bright lights. Also, we have blackout curtains on our windows and I wear blue light filtering glasses when watching TV or using my computer. Additionally, I have a motion sensing LED night light in my bathroom and a rechargeable small light that provide just enough light for me if I am in the throes of a bad migraine and need to be in the bathroom. All of these minor, simple, but important, modifications to our home have really helped me to be more comfortable and not feel trapped in my bedroom because of my migraines. Also, I turn down the backlight and color on the TV sometimes and that helps too.

I have large windows and much prefer natural light over any other form. I too wear my dark sunglasses everywhere and keep my screens brightness turned way down and blue filters on. Light bulbs have been a challenge since it's getting harder to find old school ones. I will have to try the tented ones you all have mentioned.

I use the original lightbulbs that they're phasing out. I cannot use florescent, halogen, or led.

I just re-read my last answer to this question and I did not write it out properly, I meant to say some LED lights are better or less irritating, any of the warm tones, gold or amber or rose are alright but the bright white or blue based are painful during a migraine and just seem overbearing in general, hope this helps.

The flickering in fluorescent lighting is what gets me. We use warm LEDs at home and that seems to help.
