What you think of as neutral light is probably too blue for night use. Blue light has been shown to disrupt sleep pattern.
Try using the screen for a while. You may grow to appreciate it
A light with adjustable temperature would be the best. That would not be another gimmick of dubious value. Which means we will probably never get it.
I don't know why tablets and phones don't let you adjust the temperature of the display. This is one of my pet peeve. Considering high end mobile devices now have the best display owned by the average person, who spends hours a day staring at it.

As I became accustomed, I pushed the temp further - 4500 K for daytime, right down to 2100 K at night. (I don't do colour-sensitive stuff on my computer, obviously! Mainly text-based stuff.) Wikipedia tells me that 4500 is between moonlight and horizon daylight, and 2100 is just a little cooler than a candle flame or sunset.
I'm in favour of less blue lighting - it should be better for sleep.

It is impressive to see the two most scientifically literate messages in this discussion almost totally ignored by average people.
