what about TV and normal blue? there is no color that only T5's can get its a matter of finding the right LEDs and putting them in the right concentration, or just go MH but ya it might be cheeper to add T5's.

I myself find florescent type bulbs have a flat pastel look I have never liked aside from actinic, but I haven't seen a good actinic bulb sense the URI Super actinic VHO.
