The Actinic lamps are a blue color. Only produce Actinic spectrum.

The Actinic Whites are a white lamp that have actinic supplementation in them.

I run a combination of 6500K daylight and Super Actinics and find I get excellent coral growth, and nice pleasant appearance.

When I ran the Aquasun VHO lamps I found them a bit pink, not truly white and while I've never seen the Actinic White lamps lit, I would assume they also would be pink/blue not a truly white light.
