I currently have the RS ReefLED G2 115
I don't particularly like the light too blue in a way where it will set my whole living space blue like a fish store,
mostly this is something I've agreed on as a compromise to have the tank with my GF

I run the lights at 15K Kelvin spectrum which are a bit light blue, I get that is how the blended led is setup

my question is, If I were to switch to Radion XR15 would the 15K look more natural white and have more pop being that they have specific spectrum lights you can control
My light currently makes the corals feel a bit bull and washed out compared to what I would love to see
 
Yes, Radions are controllable from a spectrum perspective, the neon blue party is a choice you can make or not. The red sea lights should also have similar functionality.

I personally use Kessil fixtures, they give extreme control over visual spectrum while maintaining the correct wavelengths for coral growth.
 
I’ve only seen Red Sea lights over tanks, never run them over my own, but they leave much to be desired.

The Radion Pro is a much better light. For 1/3 the cost you can have Gen 2 Nicrew though and get the same or even better output than a Radion
