Some of the new LEDs are termed "warm" and they are definitely much better.

Just thinking out of my experience when painting...

Hi


I've got gels here that actually do the reveres of what you're trying to do, they'll cool warm lights. You've been seeing them in action for years in TV/Film/photographs and just haven't realized it, that's because they work. You'll be glad to know that what you need will cost you under a fiver http://www.hi-lights.tv/shop/184/250/

(I see you're in Denmark. You'll easily get a sheet just ask for a sheet of "Full CTO gel")

You will lose some brightness so it's a trade off, but when you need the extra light simply remove the gel. I like LED, low energy bulbs are the bane of my life
