Does it need to be 'controlled', or just 'on and off' ?

I could give you numerous links to waterproof led strips in the 460-470nm range if you're only looking for 'on/off'

dimmable, yes. It's the one feature I'll miss with T5s

You can buy dimmable T5 ballasts ... 1-10v

I can't help you with the day/dusk LEDs if you want them dimmable

OK, I'm dyin' here to post them for someone, so, here's some LED strips you can add to your fixture for blues/actinics
All are close to or between 460nm to 470nm and are waterproof strips that you cut to length and add your own power supply
