LED grow lights... input please.

So fluorescent is better for blue light then? I still want my red leds though. Any suggestions on which brand of fluorescent to get? I think I can pick up a few red traffic lights from somewhere.

Yes, at actual led's state of art, blue light from floros are cheaper and more efficient.

Any high color temp (K) triphosphor is valid. 6000-6500K works fine. You can choose a actinic tube, too, but they are expensive. Any brand is useful, but i like Phillips 865 floro tubes especially: long life and very good spectrum (high peak at 440nm, good emision in all the blue range and a red emision about 15nm longer than others brand spectrums).
