I've been trying to create Golden Hour lighting for my table top studio stuff and have discovered that
candlelight serves quite nicely...the Kelvin numbers, 2800, seem to match that of the evening sun.

Would not simply changing my daylight LED bulbs, that I currently use, to that of 2800K bulbs, serve the same purpose?
I sure am liking the color of the light.

The things you do for yourself die with you, the things you do for others live forever.
A man's worth should be judged, not when he basks in the sun, but how he faces the storm.

Just shoot RAW and adjust the color temp and tint.

CTO gels are intended specifically to do what you want.
They are used to convert a daylight balanced light source to tungsten balanced (2700K) light source.
They come in 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, full to enable adding just the warmth one is looking for.

Changing the color temp in post works but it may change colors that should not change. Changing the color temp of the source is the best approach.

Just for grins, you might try setting a Custom WB with a light blue filter (or blue paper), & see how that works with your existing lights.
