No problem the fixture is great, well crafted and the built in timer in leds really sets it apart from other fixtures. here is what i sugesst for a light set up for you.

Option one 14,000k look with great pop in color.

Back:
KZ New gen
KZ Fiji purple
KZ Superblue
KZ Coral light
KZ Superblue
KZ New gen
Front:

Option two 17,500k look with more visible blue and even more pop

Back:
KZ New gen
KZ Fiji purple
KZ Superblue
KZ Coral light
KZ Superblue
KZ Superblue
Front:

I promise you will be happy with either set up. Most people like the blue look but i prefer the 14,000k look myself.

I forgot to mention, that the 2nd and 4th slot is controlled buy on a timer called blue. So that is why i have the bulbs set upt his way. So you can control a dusk dawn setting. The leds have thier own switch as well which i run only when all of the other bulbs are off during the night time.
