@NiLuJe: That's brilliant!
@all: I'm in the game again, yeehaw!

As for the frontlight hack: I'm currently looking for thin, heat resistant yellow-orange filter film that's available in Germany. I think film would be the best way to reduce the blue in the lighting, since it could be reverted, e.g. to change the intensity or the tone whereas painting would be permanent, can't be tested to figure out the right amount and would be hard to distribute evenly.

All sorts of filter I tried so far with my led lights got bleached by the heat emitted by the LEDs, up to a degree of total color loss. No wonder, since they were meant for video and photo production and event lighting. They can take immense spotlight heat, but not for long.

I'm also thinking of Kapton tape due to it heat resisting capabilities and amber color, but can't find a source here, only some chinese clone at Amazon. I don't know whether it is too dark or not.

Any advice or silly idea are still highly welcome

As soon as I find something that's worth a try, I will order a PW and take my time to make sure that it's ok, before I kill the warranty by tearing it down to try the hack.

Whoever has any idea or suggestion how to do it or what to use, please drop it here or pm me, it would be highly welcome.

I will try to make photos of what I do, just in case that my low blue light frankenreader turns out to be actually usable ^^
