I can copy that from what I read and what I experienced so far.

I am using the solarized light theme. The dark theme I installed as
well but I hardly switch to it.

On OS X, I am using flux as well. Definitely recommended!

On Debian GNU/Linux, I am using redshift[1] for the same purpose
because flux had some instability issues.

So the bright theme gets warmer in the evening which fixes this
issue to me. It always huts my eyes a lot when I temporarily disable
redshift/flux :-)
