How to get better color on my DIY LED

[bob115]

While things look fine, I'm not quite getting the color I'd like to on my stuff. My set up is as follows:

 

3 Luxeon M RBs

3 Vero 10 4000k 90cri

3 430nm violets

2 410nm violets

2 OCW

3 Luxeon Limes

 

My ideas are to ax the OCW in favor of 1-2 Decor Vero 10 2700k 97cri COBs, 2 luxeon Cyans, 2 XP-G Blues. Also considering adding a couple 445nm 'Ultramarine' royal blues.

 

I have 5 channels available. This is what I'm thinking:

1. M RBs (1500mA)

2. Whites (1000mA 4-5 way parallel, probably bump that up to 1200)

3. Violets and Ultramarine (700mA)

4. Lime (700mA)

5. Blue and Cyan (500mA)

Yes, ditch the OCW. The blues and the cyans are going to be your biggest help here. I'm not sure I'd really bother with the 2700K Vero10, as you already have a very high CRI white. You could try it, but I think only one would be needed.

Cool. Any thoughts on the 445nm royal blue?

I don't think I'd bother. It's not going to make any real change in the overall color based on what you already have.
