I have tried a 24 watt Eco bulb that has little diffusion, and frankly, the light looked to me about as bright as this, since more light washes the area. I have added theatrical color correction gels to the glass, and it looks great. I have Rosco un 1/4 CTO 20X24 Amber Rosco RS340911 on there now, and have ordered the next step lighter (Rosco Cinegel Roscosun 1/8 CTO, 20x24" Color Correction Lighting Filter). Both of these are available on Amazon for a few dollars.
In color testing, the Rosco un 1/4 CTO appears the closest in color to halogen. But now that I'm sitting in it, perhaps it is a tad more yellow? Not sure. I have been reading that the two kinds of light are quite different, and so smaller color corrections be down to personal preference. One difference may be that the halogens I'm using to test on one track against the LEDs on another pointed in different directions (being on either side of a collar tie). If LED light were bouncing off the white walls as the halogens do, there might be even less difference. Will have to see.
But honestly, the color and intensity of light is so good that I am pretty sure I will be replacing my entire studio with LED floods. Now I'm messing with very small differences in light color.

The spots had more beam spread than expected. This resulted in less illumination of the target than was desired. It did not cause the lamp to be unusable, but is not as easy on the eyes since the target is not as bright as needed. I did like the color and the fact that LEDs are supposed to last a long time. This was an attempt to get away from incandescent lamps for the application and the effort was not successful. Found a good alternate use, though....
