Incorrect when talking about LEDs. "White" LEDs are covered with a phosphor that takes a blue LED's light and shifts it down. The output from the phosphor is broad spectrum, even if the original LED was a narrow band blue. Thus, these LEDs are a good wide spectrum light, instead of an approximation made from mixing red, green and blue LEDs. Of course, the problem you described can exist, but is commonly seen only with fluorescent bulbs.
