opps. haha

what do you suggest? Are there any options other than LED?

I find warm white very glaring as well tbh.

Glare is measured in UGR, all flush downlights like the ones you posted have a beam angle of 100-120Deg and UGR >22.
These DL are designed to make the room "feels" bright. These range are usually under the consumer series.

For low glare look for those deep recessed type (though not easy to find and it is more expensive) that has a beam angle of 60Deg. These are usually semi-pro or professional series.

Alternatively eyeballs will definitely have lower glare as compared to flush downlights. If you already have cutout holes for those DL you mentioned, eyeballs will require a plaster ceiling patch up as the openings are much small, from 70-90mm only.
