imo no

the glow from the gasket, when the light is off, makes it easy to find the light on my nightstand.

the glow has very little actual illumination distance… I do not feel it changes the CRI of the LED

I especially love my acqua blue color gaskets from CRX! Highly entertaining :slight_smile:

I can see the dim glow on my nightstand, in full darkness, even without precharging the glow gasket. Ambient daylight is sufficient to charge the gasket enough to be visible by the bed, in the dark.
