| Re: want a new light?????? It depends on what type of look you like...6,500k will be a little on the yellow side with the best growth rate. 10,000k will give a crisp white with good growth rate. You can supplement with atinics which will give a blue to purplish color. Together you should get a nice custom look. Personally I have the following (front to back): Aqua z blue pro special Sylvania penetron 6,500k Fiji special Sylvania penetron 6,500k Aqua z blue pro special |
