Honestly everything I have read says stay away from red, if you have neutral whites, then you should have enough of the red spectrum covered.

I do agree that UV is not utilized nearly enough.

I am upgrading my DIY LED build right now, and I'm adding more UV and TV LED's.

Channel 1 is as follows: 11 7500K cool whites, 4 4500k neutral whites, 2 520nm green, 4 480nm blue, 4 420nm violet, and 2 660nm deep reds.

Channel 2 is: 28 450nm royal blues


i do warn that any more then 2 reds in a unit this size makes for a pinky look that is not all that attractive.
