Nice photo Lee,

I'll ask the manufacture and see what they can do for us but in most cases its your eyes adjusting the the look of the LED lighting. I know going from MH to LED was a bit weird for me when i first fired them up but after a few days it became like any other lighting. Hope you like them!

I think all of the girlfriends and wives out there think the bf/husband are a little crazy so your not alone on that one.

just wanted to make sure when you mean 50/50 its not:
-50% white 50% blue
but
-50% blue and 50% royal blue

So a full blue bulb?

Just wanted to make sure what you ment before i contact the manufacture so they dont think im a total nut case which i think they already believe i am. The hardest thing about these bulbs is they are 9 emitters and its impossible to get 50/50 its always going to be 40/60 ( which the 14K is 4blue, 5 white)

Alrite i'll see what they can do about the blue/ royal blue combo

im currently testing out a prototype i had made with 4x royal blue, 4x cool white, 1x red and the red is over powering 3W of red over takes 12W of royal blues to our eyes...and no doubt would that happen with the greens as well. Ive heard the greens help pop the oranges/reds but maybe ill build one as a prototype to test out. Dont forget too that every spectrum you add gets broken up into its colors if you have surface movement...in the case with the lamp with the red emitter i was getting 3 colors haha...
