Supplemental Blue Light for Aesthetics Only

[gobirds4290]

Hi all,

Got a 40b running a pair of Smatfarm leds. I’ve got the PAR numbers where I want them but the look is a bit too white for my liking. I’m looking for idea on supplemental lights just to bring up the blues a bit and make the colors pop. Doesn’t need to be super strong since I don’t need the PAR. Any suggestions?

You can get 470nm bars from aliexpress pretty cheap

I use 2 OR3 Blue bars on my 40b for my supplement blues.
