This is the kind I'm referring to:

I've read about them in forums as well. Supposedly they've got the Actinic characteristics, but also a strong blue light as well.

Can't say I have heard of actinic + blue. They are all blue around the 430 nm wave length unless you are running 50/50 bulbs. Best bet is to call them and find out. Hopefuly they have what you are looking for.

HTH.
