which I bought when I was trying to solve this same problem 5-6 years ago (those were the brightest I could find at the time). They've held up extremely well - I'm still on some of the original ones - except for mechanical damage, to which the larger CFs seem more vulnerable.
Some of my guests complained about the 6500k color temperature ones, but 5000 seems fairly unobjectionable.
