There are plenty of LEDs available with a 2700K color temperature. It helps to buy ones with 90+ CRI, although few (even the good ones) actually advertise their CRI on the label. Last time I bought bulbs, Home Depot was selling 80 and 90 CRI bulbs under the same freaking model number; it's like the WRT54G all over again.
Granted, it's not a true black body spectrum because the infrared part is missing, but that's why they use less energy.

- njarboe 8y agoIt is too bad that manufactures are not required to put a spectral analysis graph on the packaging of these non-blackbody light sources. Not sure how they even calculate a temperature rating when the blue and red frequencies are the highest with yellow and green quite low.
