The characteristics of LEDs behind backglass art that tend to be problematic are threefold: color, brightness, and direction. The ideal LED in my opinion would address all of those.:
A proper color temperature that increases the contrast of the art.
A proper brighness- too bright washes out the details, so that almost as bad as too dim
A spread that avoids hot spots, more illumination to dead areas between bulbs.
IMO, there are some decent LEDs out there but we have yet to develop the perfect LED. One idea I have would be to modify the backboard with RGB/White LED sheet. These can be programmed with a microcontroller to dial in the color and brightness, while filling in the spaces between bulbs for a nice even illumination (almost as if one bulb lighting the entire glass)
Sorry I've strayed so far off topic....carry on
