We have white LED lights and too bright! Try different wattage LEDS to get the right one. Bed lights in particular for reading!
We have solved the problem by fitting USB outlets next to the bed and other areas and using an Ikea USB table light which is ideal for background when reading. Also we have flexible USB lights that normally go in a computer and great for bedside reading - small spot lights)
The USB sockets also mean we have plenty of areas we can charge phones, tablets etc and keep our power down when boon docking.
