People think I am weird for cranking the Night Shift setting on my mac to the max but it really helps. Sure wish we had better e-ink screens.

  It helps, certainly. At least with my experience (post author), it doesn't actually fix the problem. There are a variety of e-ink HDMI displays out there, though. They're simply "very, very expensive."

    On a recent renovation of our home, my wife and I decided to upgrade all of our lighting to LEDs with adjustable color temperatures. In the morning, and during the day, our house is illuminated with 5000k, but in the evening when we're preparing dinner the color temp is lowered down to 3500k and then down further to 2700k after dinner. It's much easier on our eyes and it feels like it's made a difference, but after reading through this it seems we likely still have some of the blue light coming through at night. Could you recommend a (inexpensive) spectrometer for testing our lights?

      Check the previous post about my spectrometer. You're doing the right thing, but I have a bunch of "smart bulb LED" posts coming up, and even the color shifting ones blat out an awful lot of blue compared to an incandescent, and they don't dim worth a damn.

    And what reflected light would you use with your e-ink display?

      Lanterns (incandescent kerosene), or incandescent lights. The Kobo Clara HD is rather easier to read in low light than my aging Kobo Aura. It also has warm glow, but I'm not sure it matters, and the better reflectance on the display is the major win.
