Hey guys I built some DYI Kino flow style light banks and wanted to know if anybody used the Philips 98 CRI bulbs listed below.

It is good brand and I am sure that CRI will be according to specs. At least first time (with time all fluos and leds degrade).
I plan to build some myself. Would you kind sharing your ideas and take some photos? That would be awesome!
from my experience the original KinoFlo fluorescent are rather even 6000k than 5600K. HMI is colder as well. Take care if you mix them with other bulbs.
I actually built the DYI Kino flows about 2 1/2 years ago strictly for lighting green screen. Anyways here are a couple of videos for you. I have two 6 bank lights shown in the videos, and also the same exact two 4 bank lights. My setup is different from both of these videos as I wanted to use it on a regular light stand in a vertical position as well as a using it on my C stands in horizontal position. When I have some time I will take some pictures and post them.
Here are some pictures that I took showing the 4 Bank setup. The 6 Bank is setup the same way in terms of hardware so the hardware is exactly the same. I don't have barn doors and painted the 4 Banks white on the inside so that it is easier on the eyes. The 6 Bank is only for the backdrop so I didn't paint it white but may do so at a later time.
