Question time dilation = light dilation?

While I agree the universe may be “stationary”, I’m not of the opinion redshift at the Hubble constant is due to “time dilation”, which may be another way of saying that light redshifts over great distances when adjusted for time. In your referenced Observational evidence for general time dilation and stationary universe, you wrote:
Quote:
From (6) and (7), after differentiating twice with respect to r to get rid of integrals, and replacing all constants by “cosmological constant of Einstein’s universe”
Λ = 4π G ρ / c2
However, according to Wikipedia, the Cosmological Constant is not same. Einstein’s Cosmological constant is: Λ = 8π G ρ / 3c2

Labeling light "dilation" as "time dilation" is one way to look at it, but it may not explain it other than recasting the same problem with a new problem. Viz: Why "time dilation" over great distances? Why not "gravitational light dilation" over cosmic distances, for example?

I will read your paper in more detail, since you may have already answered this, but thought to ask it here. Thanks.
