If you scaled your LED blue spectrum(s) to around 100% power, what power would whites be at?

For example, I believe Saxby is "some" whites, hanging around the 25% whites when the blues are scaled to 100%. Definitely more daylight than, for example, JF's tanks which are very blue.

For MH and T5 owners, use your best judgement. I would consider 20k radiums to be more blue (some or a little white) and 14k to be a lot of white.

My tank is full on windex mode, with white's being around 10-15% when blues are cranked to 100%. I am thinking about adding in a bit more white, based on some comments I've read about Zoa's appreciating whites, reds and greens more so than SPS and LPS. I haven't had many new heads pop up in the last few months.

My blues max at 100%, greens at 50%, reds at 5%, and whites at 5%.
