Looks like the automatic location feature isn't working for you. Works okay for me though.

Comment 2 Nate Graham 2020-04-20 20:10:03 UTC

Are you behind a proxy or using a VPN or another service that might result in your IP address being geolocated far from your actual address?

Comment 3 John van Spaandonk 2020-04-22 06:31:18 UTC

Indeed Nate!
I played a bit and the setting is caused by my VPN to another time zone. I switched to manual time zone in Nightlight now and the issue seems resolved. 
Although this makes me feel a little stupid I will continue trying to create good bug reports :-)
