I have a DIY led build, It has 18 cool white, 13 royal blue 3 watt Bridgelux leds and chinese drivers that came in a kit from china. I added 2 red and 2 UV 3 watt leds from rapidled. After only 6 months, one of the cheap chinese drivers failed.
The colour was fine but the colous don't 'pop'. I haven't figured out which colour I need to add to get the 'pop' but I know the 3 watt reds are too strong to use except in very high ratios (1:20, 1:30) or maybe very deep tanks. I had to build filters to damp them down.
I have new drivers on order from rapidled (meanwell elm 60-48 dimmable) and some more royal blue and cool white to swap out some of my existing leds to see if there is a colour change.
Just some thoughts on my experience.
