445 nm or 453 nm?

[ASERT]

So I'm looking to get maybe 2 stunner strips for accent lighting.. Which blue should I go with the 445 nm or 453 nm.. Or should I do one of each? They will be turning on 2 hrs before my main fixture and stay for 2 extra more after it shuts down..

i love my 455nm

Do you use them as supplemental lighting or for night viewing? And are the 453 nm a lot more blue?

Anyone.. Any suggestions?..

445 is slightly closer to the absorption peak . 453 will make the colors pop a bit more. They are so close though shouldn't really matter.

you will get more of a neon pop with the 453. i had those and liked them for a little while then it was just too much blue.

I have a hard time distinguishing from my Cree XTE RB 450-455nm from my Luxeon Rebel 440-450nm. The Rebels are a deeper blue with a hint of purple.

My thought exactly.. So does anyone know of a LFS that has the Ecoxotic Stunner strips (12") in stock or should I just order online?.. Thanks everyone...
