I was under the impression that the white LEDs can't be filtered out at all. A white LED isn't exactly white and it covers the whole spectrum or something along those lines.
I don't think it's good news for imagers, maybe those doing visual if they managed to install them correctly but there have been some horror tales about the LEDs in the past.

I think it's one of those things that if implemented correctly could reduce visible pollution domes but it specifically hits the deep sky guys and may only leave narrowband as an option.

I'm prepared to be wrong on this but everytime I see LEDs mentioned there tends to be a kerfuffle.
