Steve. My comment was a reply to jfish stating that many ppl find the cool white LEDs too blue.....

Does this look too blue?


These are two different bins of coolwhite XP-G ...but them both seem warm white to me. Cool white should be straight white.

I like the one on the left.. looks just like the reefs in hawaii when your snorkeling I think when they say to blue they are talking about when combined with RB LEDs. for instance the one on the right would temper the royal blue much more than the one on the left.
