Which LED Bulb Is Better?

The odd thing is they both seem to have nearly identical spectrums, but the red/blue one has a broader band of red. One light should be OK for one plant, they have a really narrow footprint.

Ok, I will go for the red/blue one, and I was planing to get another one later when the plant starts to get bigger.
Also is there any other different led bulbs you would recommend instead?
Thanks again.
 
In my limited experience with growing indoors under lights, pepper plants just aren't that picky about the spectrum of the lights. You don't even need special grow lights; regular old white lights will work just fine. What is important is that the lights are bright enough and are on for enough hours per day.
 
That being said, one of our members here is currently testing an LED grow light in the same price range as the ones you are considering and it seems to be working well for him so far. Might be worth a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xl7mK0kCvI
