I have been using this for 5 years now at 2750k 24/7.

The problem also extends to every light in your house though, not just computer screen.

Ideally, you'd turn off all lights closer to bedtime.

This is also true. When I move to a new place, first thing I do is replace all lightbulbs. I only buy light sources 2700k or below, and no fluorescent lighting because the flickering fucks with you as well. LED, halogen or even old-school incandescent is fine. (Nowadays it's cheap enough so I prefer LED) I never use overhead lighting either.

I've had exactly 1 person throughout my life who complained that my pad was too dimly lit. Everyone else finds it cozy and comforting.

As to f.lux: I have always used it on default settings because I couldn't be bothered to adjust all those settings.

Now I chose to keep the blue light because I rarely see actual sunlight where I live. My productivity immediately went up.

I think I'll eventually do what you did, but with a higher white point than yours, 2750k sounds way too low. I'll probably pick a value ~4000k and keep it 24/7.
