Your display will look normal during the day and warmer at night when the sun sets when this feature is activated. Additionally, the Night Light can be manually turned on at any time.

This feature doesn't change the display's brightness; instead, it filters blue light. Many users combine it with lowering screen brightness at night because it's supposed to help reduce eye strain.
