I totally agree, but, at least with screw in bulbs (E26), Phillips are far lower CRI and just look worse to my eye (and several friends eyes) than Cree produced bulbs. I learned a few years ago that HD is where you buy LED bulbs, not Lowes. Both their Ecosmart home brand, and the Cree bulbs are made by Cree, and are just much better quality.
I don't think either sells T8 replacement tubes made by Cree, so for this project, not an option, but advice for the rest of the house.
