Ditto for my laptop, the software approach is just a bit untenable when I do work with graphics or design especially because you need consistency in these cases.

Personally, I just hit the brightness down button on my keyboard a few times around 8pm. I think windows has this as a built in feature now, too? I'm curious to know what f.lux offers over this:

First thing I see is f.lux lets you configure the transition (speed/intensity) between day/night modes as well as color temperatures rather having an abstract "strength" setting.

One feature missing from the Windows solution, which flux has and it works tremendously, is an automatic trigger to disable the color/brightness change when a certain app is opened. Works beautifully when I'm up to do some Lightroom work.
