The light came :-). I really wanna take my time with this. My one Current USA light (not IC) was set to 100 blue and ~40 whites. I didn't realize that you couldn't control the intensities of each light individually. 
With this new light, I've lowered blues to 35 and whites to ~5 for each light. Is this too much all at once? I'd like to increase by 5 every other day for the next week or so.

Lux meter.   Stop guessing at what you're doing.  I learned this lesson the hard way....I don't recommend that.

 

With a light meter you will simply try to keep overall light levels where they are, regardless of what you're changing.
