Gde, I really like those specs you've posted... i might look into those for my print shop, as my calibrated CFL lights are getting old.

You can check out the specs yourself (although I don't have the exact PN for the white at that surplus outlet)..
THIS is specs for a 8,000K White LED module and has a 70 CRI which is no worse than any fluorescent including CFLs.
The Yellow PN I have is a LX-ECO3S Y so if you are curious you could try subbing a W for the Y and might be able to find the spec sheet..
