To me a 50/50 is no where near 14k. The 2:1 ratio of RB to CW is more like 14k to me.
I agree. I run a 50/50 mix over my own rig and found it really yellow unless I lower the intensity of the CW LED's. I ended up supplementing with T5's to fill in some of the higher Kelvin Blue and it made a huge difference.
