I got mine from the LED specialty place that is close to me. They occasionally run sales and I got a 25 pack of bulbs plus 15% off. We have two old T-12 (4 bulb) fixtures in our kitchen that I have already converted. I bought the 5000 K bulbs. It was TOO bright! I ended up leaving only 2 bulbs in each fixture and they are still brighter than the previous 8 T-12 florescent bulbs.

Seeing that I went back and bought some smaller enclosed fixtures also to add to the dark storage corners of my basement. I still need to replace the bulbs in my shop area fixtures though. I guess I should get that done before the 5 year warranty runs out...  

I also put up T8's, upgraded the tubes, have good bright coverage. As I know you must know the temp makes a differences in the brilliance.

800 series tubes

Not on board with the led thing myself yet


@ highpower, I did save the bookmark thanks, might buy one and do a side by side. Looking at the pictures on the site I'm not seeing a difference than what I have at the moment.



   
Putting aside the dark colors that are absorbing the light. The reflective whites, the T8 look like its right there
   

Just saying
