I think it’d be interesting to do some formal data collection on this idea even if there isn’t going to be any control group. If you would, please PM me or comment in this thread if you’re planning to try it out, and I will contact everyone who said they were trying it out in a few months and put together a short report.
Um—why not get a control group? I’d happily volunteer.
I mean, it might not be perfectly randomized, but you can at least watch for confounders from just being in this community, or introspecting for data collection, or whatnot.
Well, I’ve got a grand total of 3 emails and no PMs so far. I was going to ask questions like: how much time and money did the lights cost to set up, do you feel like it works better than coffee, have you seen any decline in its effectiveness, etc. No heavy data collection, just a survey about peoples’ experiences.
