I had 8 shop-style dual 4' LEDs,seemingly sold at every local lumberyard for
about $15 each. However they were BRIGHT. And given your stated use I don't
think it's the right application. But I see Home Depot sells a 2700K "warm
white" LED 4' tube that you could replace the bulbs with, if you can't find a
warm bulb version as a whole unit.
