I'm using Philips Hue color LED bulbs in all our bedrooms, the hallway outside them, and the toilet. Since it can switch to using red+green LEDs in color mode, if you configure them with orange light dimmed to low/minimum at night, there should be essentially zero blue light. Works really well.
With smart LED bulbs you can also set them up on a schedule to light up the room very brightly in the morning and have motion sensors to turn on the light elsewhere, which is also very important for health.
Even though we've done this, I'm a bit skeptical of how terrible blue light is supposed to be. Just dim your lights lower and you should get most of the benefits. The natural light outside at night is quite blue, so I don't think it's blue light in itself that's the problem.. it's how much light there is in general and the body is just using the blue light to measure the general light level.
He's complaining about real-world LED bulb lifetime, but I've never had any of them fail on me for 8+ years, except for some specific IKEA Trådfri GU10 bulbs that had bad thermal design which they've obviously fixed, and they were replaced free of charge no question asked. It may depend on the quality of power where you live though.
