I went with white LED’s mainly for the nicer working environment of white light.
I like the pink. I'm sure my elderly neighbors wonder what I'm up to. ;)

I am currently building a 6500k white led light bar into the lid of an old aquarium to place my ficus in to be able to keep the humidity higher then the room itself and aswell to provide it with extra light besides the light coming in trough the glass i know how the tree grew two winter seasons indoors so i hope to see a big difference this year!

I dim the white and red (bloom) lights on my LED setup. I think the red ones are more likely to scorch with the infrared spectrum. My blues(growth) however are cranked up all the way and I get better growth durning my indoor season. Nice reddish growth on my nerifolias.
