Not all, only white LEDs. You can use any cheap LED RGB strip without white components and set it to yellow/orange light with blue completely off. It has poor CRI though.

Obviously it has bad CRI because that requires a blue component :)

But for going to sleep it's not a bad idea.

Not only that. It also completely skips amber part of spectrum, making human skin look bit weird.
