This is just what iv'e read, and since I read that, I was just going to go with 2 neutral whites because I am only going to get 9 LEDs and I don't have room for multiple colored whites. But you suggest cool whites over neutral whites? And I can use 1 driver for all 9 LEDs if its max current is 700mA? can you give me your opinion on this driver, "0-10V Dimmable Nano Driver with Potentiometer" from rapidled.com if i'm running 5 royal blues, 2 ultraviolet, and 2 cool whites.
I've been running that same driver with 4 royal blues, 2 neutral, 1 red, and 1 UV, for the past couples weeks with no problems. It's over my 4gallon. So far I've been keeping them dimmed about 50 percent. The driver and LEDs run very cool unless they are cranked up all the way
