I know this is an old question and it's been answered already, but, because of this question, I decided to compare the light output of this lamp to the 4-5 other LED headlamps that I have. This one happens to be tied with one other for the coldest/blue-white type of light. I have used this head lamp extensively and I really like it. The coldness of the light has never really bothered me before, but most of my other head lamps are definitely a little warmer color than this one. The others that I compared it to were made by Princeton Tec, another Petzl, an Everready (big bug-eyed one), and a little tiny one that runs on 2016 watch batteries.

it's possible to get them in different color temperatures but the majority in use are definitely the colder blue, white. I wouldn't say it's as bad as fluorescent lights though.
