Do any LED fixtures produce an HPS-like color?

Colour temp of sun is 5900k, HPS 1900-2000k

I believe they make HPS as high as 4200k, but i can't tell if thats marketing or not.. HPS emits more of the spectrum, at a higher intensity, than the commercial LEDs I'm aware of

This isn't to say LEDs are bad, just that they target specific wavelengths using diodes. HPS have a broader range (of mostly useless yellow light) making them closer to the sun.

So regardless you’re wrong.
 
the only area where i would say hps and sunlight are undeniably closer than led is to sunlight is in IR output. the rest of the spectrum not so much.
