Chuck, you might want to look into "warm white" LEDs. The ones I've
used
for edge lit panels appear to have a color temp right around 2400-2600K.
If memory serves a 40W incandescent bulb is right around 2400K.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical

holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
