Anyone tried YUJI LEDS? 96 CRI, Supposedly As Close To The Sun As LEDs Get.

A member from another forum I frequent (a Gardener with LEDs) mentioned these lights, and after a couple hours researching them, they look pretty damn awesome! But keep in mind, I'm admittedly not yet the best at reading/interpreting Data Sheets, so informed opinions would be VERY WELCOME.

WOW...these look like the real deal. A little pricey...5 meter roll (120 diodes/m; 600 LEDs total) for $89.99 (For the BC Series) OR the VTC Series (120 diodes/m; 600 LEDs Total) for $189. Does anyone know what would justify the VTC Series being twice AS EXPENSIVE as the BC Series?

This guy on YOUTUBE tested them at 96 CRI.

And the Yuji website (They sell COBs as well):

Here's the Data Sheet on the BC Strips:

And Data on the VTC Strips:

Any impressions from LED EXPERTS WOULD BE GREAT! I'm waiting for some F-Series strips on backorder, and might consider doing these instead...IF the numbers pan out.

Thanks.

I don't know why the link isn't working, but try this one, or just search, "yuji mimic daylight" on www.youtube.com, and the 4:27 video should be at the top of the list.

Quick answers...
the cheaper strip is not efficent enough to match samsung smd performance... actually smds are approx two times more efficent, so these leds are a bad choice imo.
The more expensive strip is based on uv leds instead of royal blue(400 vs 450nm) so are even less efficent but have broader spectrum and higher cri.
In my opinion these leds are not good for horticulture, maybe designed for photo studios etc.

Cheers
