Morphology

antiblue + light + bulb

The noun is compositionally built from anti- (against/reducing) + blue + light bulb, so its meaning — a bulb that reduces blue-light emission — is directly inferable from the parts. Although 'antiblue' as a single token is uncommon, the productive anti- + ‘blue light’ construction follows regular English compounding and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows the constituents.

Etymology

Antiblue light bulb is a name that shows a simple idea: anti- means 'against', blue is the colour of the strong light from screens, and light bulb is the lamp. Imagine a lamp that blocks or softens blue rays so your eyes relax and you sleep better, so the name means a bulb 'to reduce blue light'.
