Most plants do a lot better with the red spectrum. What's the k rating?

the 2 day light ones i have are 6500k each

That's perfect for plant growth. 6500K is what plants need to get the best growth affect, also as mentioned the red light spectrum is what plants thrive on.

I want to get a red light and a color max light for my quad to go along with my 6500k's
