The 921 LED bulb

While it would be more efficient to replace your "blueish" bulbs with warmer ones, one solution is to visit a theatrical supplier or large camera shop & buy a piece of color media. It is available in 100's of colors, usually 20" X 22" sheets, and is designed to be placed in front of high wattage theatrical lights; heat won't be a problem. I've used one of the frosts (Roscolux 115) inside some of my fixtures to even out the light from panel type LEDs.

LEDs do get warm but are far cooler than the incandescent bulb that they replace.

You don't say what and how many LEDs are used, for example, 24-5050 LEDs, so its hard to say what to expect. Also whether or not the LED bulbs contain a voltage regulator will affect the heating, especially when the converter output gets up around 14v.

Are they as hot as the 921 incandescents?
