450 nm's is the heart of the blue spectrumâ€”they are going to be like what we hobbyists would refer to as 22K or 24Kâ€”probably very darn close to ATI's Blue+, or Geisemann's Actinic+, both 450nm T5's...

These will be blue plus type.

With the radiums it depends on what you want to add to them. If you want more pop and blue then a blue plus or the 454 would work.

So these would be a good stock replacement for the NEP 460's?
