Very true in regards to the color of light being cast on the reader. One of my other hobbies is LED flashlights on steroids. Ones that will clobber the lights most police officers carry, to give you an idea. In those, there are different brand LEDs, and even within the same brand are different models and color tints. I tested out a light with more of a warm color temp and it made the reader screen look sickly. Switching over to one that's on the cooler side, which is very white light / touch more blue, it looked fantastic.
