thats weird, the 6500K LEDs I played for when I was lighting my matis tank were white. I switched to a 10000K LED and it was a light blue. almost makes me wonder if some of these companies are buying seconds to keep the cost down while making a profit.

now my playing has been with the XR-E's so maybe the newer ones put out more yellow in comparason as they have a higher output. this would require more blue to offset the white element so that could be it also.
