The tint of an LED may--or may not--make a difference to people who have trouble with an excess of blue, so it's going to be a subjective thing for each person. A "warm" LED light still has an excess of blue in it compared to an incandescent, and a deficiency in other colors compared to an equally warm, but fuller spectrum, incandescent bulb. An elderly friend of mine who says the blue of LED really annoys his eyes dislikes even my warm tint LED or high CRI (color rendering index) LED flashlights, although he says they are better than using a bluish LED. YMMV
