Since powerful LED are run at very low temperature it is very easy to correct this color and tone by putting thin plastic color film over it, the way how we corrected colors temperature at the time of silver photography. Halogen lights are fine but they unfortunately very seldom come with low power. Try to find MR16 halogen light of 5-10W – very hard. For high power and use at full power halogens are wonderful. BTW, halogens do have problem to be dimed. As I remember form my photography life the halogen regeneration take place only when the halogen bulb runs at max voltage. As the voltage drops then halogen bulb acts as a regular light bulb as the recuperation of cathode stops, effectively shoring he bulb life. I do not think it is truly a big deal as those MR16 live for year as years, but still…

BTW, it would be very cool to have a light bulb with indication of hours on it. Since the light over my TT on only when the TT is running then the life-span of light bulb would indirectly indicate the life-span of cartridges.
