Most people have their LEDs too blue for my tastes. At 70 white, 20 blue, it looks pretty close to the 14k Radium I've been running my acros under the last 5 months. The other two bulbs were the cheap plusrite but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on anything with running the cheap bulbs. Final verdict, may be losing some color with the plusrites but again, not enough to pay $60+ per bulb.
