Very reliable and lightweight. It has enough options and a quite nice interface. Can also be integrated with Alfred 3 and such to control settings via launchers. The actual white level effect is very powerful and also has a smooth transition into the darker hours.

I often stay up late at night on my computer working on various projects. F.lux has been such a great tool to have on my computer, since it turns down the brightness and blocks out some of the blue light which keeps you up!
