    What K do most of you buy for your white light in your LED's. We all seem to use 450nm for Blue lights but white can be all over the place.

    I'm not sure about the K but for my 7 bulb Par fixture, i have 1 warm white 2 cool white 3 cool blue and 1 royal blue. I've seen great growth from it and the colors are great.

    Of the popular ones out there right now (DIY versions), they range from 3500K-500K, 5000K-8000K, and 10000K. I have not seen any others out there in the DIY realm of LEDs.
