Advice fo small diy led

why not use one of those LED PAR 38 bulbs?

Id never heard of a LED PAR 38 bulb Mark. After a fast google It looked like they only have one Led in the bulb. Can you add more to them. I want some blue mixed in. The fixture lookes nice.

I'm pretty sure they have reef par 38 bulbs. With 12 LEDs blue and white. Just google reef par 38

Go with 2 RB per 1 NW. That is the trend currently because of the warmer color the Neutral has.

Dimmable PAR38. MR16 base LEDs are now also available, run straight off 12VDC, no soldering, just need the MR15 sockets.

MR16 in cool white, I'm sure if you search, other colours are available, including blues. If one burns out, pull it & plug in another.

The idea is, if you are doing it right, none will burn out for at least 10 years.
The links you posted are very cheap LEDs and not worth the money on every single one of them ($65 for 1w LEDS?!?!). For close to the same price you can get the same par38s with the proven CREE 3w LEDs.
