nothing wrong with Bridglux single or multi. they are just as good quality wise as cree. edison are good also, it is the no name knock offs that can be suspect..
the only reason cree stands out from the "good" bunch of companies is there advancment rate is slightly ahead in terms of lumins per watt. but as has been said in previous threads we realy don't need all that power as most people set there ballasts to run them at a max of 80% then they dim that down to 60% and realy the other big chip players are closing the gap with Cree now. bridglux may not be quite as efficient but they have more powerfull LEDs
so it comes down to weather it is going to cost 3.00/month to run your fixture with crees, or 3.50/month for your bridglux (becuse the crees are a little bit more efficient)
