I recently changed my veg room from flourescents to led shop lights and am very pleased with the results. The new Sam's catalog has lowered the price to $35.98 each and they now have retrofit leds for T-8's at $25.78 each available in 12 or 15 watt and 4000K or 5000K
Retrofit 48" T8 LED Lightbulbs 15 Watt 5000K Bright Color - 2 Pack or 20 Pack
Item #: 994849 |Model #: T8LED5K415W

I changed the bloom room to a 1000w double end that is cranked up to 1200w and a 600w hps and am having to fine tune it. Early results have been 15% light. When I bought the de I was warned that it could burn the plants and I have had it at 7'+....I have lowered it to 6' 3" or 24" above the nearest plants without any burn and have changed ferts from a 5-5-5 Happy Frog to a 5-7-3 by Dr. Earth Now I just have to wait another 5 weeks to see the results....but they look at lot better.

They look good.
I am well pleased with the led's. Growth is better......I don't know if it's all because of the lights or a different environment, but I'm not looking to change anything. It's already full and waiting for room to up-can....which is waiting on room in the bloom room....the joys of growing a perpetual.
