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?

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,

If you sweet-talk a salesman, he might drop a few of each in an envelope
and drop it in the mail for you. On _his_ thirty-nine cents. :-) I've had
them do that with fairly valuable parts - it's called "sampling". Just let
him get the impression that it could lead to 1M/year orders. ;-)

Good Luck!
