| I also agree that actinics alone won't be beneficial, and also that most "actinic bulbs" aren't really actinic, but the problem is that they still don't pack the punch that the 10,000K's do. Replacing the 10,000K with a 50/50 would be fine, and also give you lotsa blue. In my Current USA fixture, there's really cool bulbs, both are 50/50, but still the blue and white are seperate bulbs. The actinic bulb is half true actinic, and half blue, while the white bulb is half 10,000k and half 6,500k.
