The Cree bulbs seem to be the cream of the crop. I can get great results using 25 watts per square foot of the Cree's which at 9.5 watts per at 2700k is a little less than 3 per square foot.
After more research I'm now not as hopeful for the Philips Slim style, this is a good video tear down of it here,It is noted at 1:30 it has a fair amount of flicker, more than the Cree's. Flicker has got to be something to avoid for growing huh?
Tear down of the Cree
It has less flicker.
Cree also has a 100w equivalent bulb now too! http://www.homedepot.com/p/Cree-100W-Equivalent-Soft-White-2700K-A21-Dimmable-LED-Light-Bulb-BA21-16027OMF-12DE26-1U100/205054835
I'm back to focusing on flood LEDs however, for their directional light beam. Home Depot has the Philips BR30 for $16 now.
13 watts used, 65w equivalent, 2700K, minimal flicker. Thinking of getting 4 or 5 to make a 260-325 watt equivalent flowering panel for 2 plants.
It uses Cree’s TrueWhite technology, which mixes in light from red and unsaturated yellow LEDs to push up its CRI.
i just misread that...lololololollolthat plant is looking great Cap!
very promising side lighting or veg.. I wonder what the cost will be.... I dig the apache ones. Those are beyond my price range for supplemental lighting.

Take out the t5 bulbs and hang them around your current grow to finally get some light reflected back to your girls.......And stick your blankets in the closet insteadnice.. home depot have them yet? I didn't see it on their site... I wish they would make some t5 ones. I have 3 t5 fixtures sitting in the closet doing nothing..
