    i would say better to go of with single color here as it would make it more look attractive and beautiful.. just try it you would definitly like it a lot

    Don't bother, those kits are nothing compared to Rapidled, Stevesleds, or ledgroupbuy.
    Use 4000-5000K NW in a 1:2 ratio with RB, 2:3 if you use Rebels. Add some TV/HV, cyan, DR, and CB and you got a full spectrum fixture.
