Ed that's great idea using the low lumen on one instead of red.  Then I can use the switching red/white led on the other socket. And get the best of all options.
Twenty years from now you'll be more disappointed by the things you didn't do, than by the ones you did.

I installed LED string lights along both sides of the salon, and another one above the galley.  They provide a lot of light for  general illumination.  I installed some toggle switches so each string can be individually controlled.  I find they throw a lot more light than using LED replacement bulbs in the original equipment light fixtures. I did this was a few years ago so perhaps the bulbs now may be better.
