I've had poor results from LED tubes that are replacements for 4ft. fluorescent bulbs. I have had very good success with 1 T8 Daylight + 1 T8 Growlux bulb. I've also had good luck with these:

The one thing I'd add is that I don't like the 2ft lengths for my setup. I need 4ft, and joining them does not work out very well, since the joint is not rigid. I use two of these joined along with a T8 daylight bulb. I don't try to grow plants beyond 8-10 weeks, so I have no experience with trying to get fruit from them.
