I'm not sure I understand, isn't the T5's going to be actinics ? Why the concern with the PAR ? I have used PC actinic's for years and although I agree they don't look as good as the T5's they are fine to use for the dusk/dawn effect.

good point Robert, but isn't it nice to know you have the best

And if you ever get a MH that is too blue, you can use the T5s as Daylights and bring the blue down.. Like I am thinking about doing..

Allow me to rephrase myself...

I just do not want to end up with dimmer actinics than what the PC's are now. I need strong actinic supplementation to overcome the XM 10k brightness.
