Absolutely. I have a bunch of waveform light strips (the highest CRI) which I use for specific lighting conditions (e.g. taking photos) and it's the difference between literally night and day. I'm also using them for plants and they love it!

The only downside is their rather expensive cost so I'm yet to replace all my lighting with it, but it's a great investment given that it'll probably outlast me and so won't need to change them.

Did you have the >90 or >80 CRI bulbs?
