I am about to mount my DIY LEDs into the canopy. Its gonna be a strip of white/blue 3 watt LEDs. I also have 4-54w t5s that need to be replaced. I have been using geisemann bulbs for a year now- 2 actinic+, 1 pure actinic, 1 aqua blue+. I have heard of a purple plus or something new since I researched last and was just wondering if anyone were choosing new bulbs right now, what bulbs/colors they would go with. And I want to get them locally if possible.
 
I would go either ati purple plus or kz Fiji purple. If you can dim your white and blue LEDs I would look at ge 6500k bulb. I am about finished adding two t5 bulbs to my ai LEDs I am gonna go with 2 bulb combo of the three bulb choice of kz Fiji purple, ati purple plus and ge 6500k just choose what 2 bulbs look the best with the LEDs.

Just FYI kz Fiji purple and ati purple plus are not the same bulbs so don't let lfs tell you they are the same spectrum

Great replies and suggestions. Do either of you know off hand who sells the purple plus or Fiji purple or the 6500 for that matter? I may visit mid cities to see what they have as I am in Arlington and got to take a sick day to go to the dentist!

I can and plan to dim my LEDs back so any other suggestions for how many of each? 1 purple+, 1 Fiji purple, 1 6500 and an actinic bulb of some kind? I'm just reaching for new ideas here!
 
You could also consider adding some red/green/UV leds to the setup. I know this is something I am considering for my LED setup. Just another option.
 
I agree with Heath and Pampee - add some purple with the T5's and level it out for a high noon with some 12kish white blue mix

Your setup sounds a lot like mine. Feel free to contact me if your in the area and want to take a look at it
