You want a light with a blue spectrum not blue light.

5100K is fine. I think 6,500K to 7,500K is better, but when you compare to incandescent bulbs which burn at 3,000K, they're way better. Definitely, you don't want red. You also don't want any sort of colored cover over the bulb, and that includes blue.

True. I use a special marine flourescent bulb. Its multiple spectrum, but it also high in the blue spectrum.
Mine cost about $70 each though.

Just get one which has a moderate - high of light from the blue spectrum.

I buy mine at the pet store. Its designed for fish, but it works great for shrooms.
