I'm not using any LED driver, just wiring the LEDs up to the computer
power supply, so I don't have that much control. I just need to know
which would be closer to UT orange, the 585 nm "Amber" LEDs or the 605
nm "Orange" LEDs. I checked again and I'm saving about $2 by going with
the "Orange" kind, but I would rather have a color closest to the light
UT orange. Thanks,


Why not get one of each, and look?

Good Luck!

It's not the LEDs that are expensive, just the shipping. I'd be
spending $3 just to look then another $7 or so for an order of 10 LEDs.
I just thought someone might be able to save me alittle money. Thanks,
