Question about new lux 5.1?

sb335 · 08-23-2010, 07:06 PM

Do the new lux 5.1 led's have any hint of blue in them? I currently have the 5.0's which are a pure white. If they do I'll probally be ordering a set and selling my 5.0's.

By the way the lux's look so good in the daylight. They are really bright!

I just finished installing LUX 5.1 last weekend. They look pure white to me, with no hint of blue. I've read somewhere that the older version (I think 4.0) has a hint of blue, not sure so you might want to double check.

the color of the LUX 5.1's are around a 6500k, where as the LUX 5.0's were around 5500k

so they are a bit bluer
