Default which is brighter? led question.

i was looking at some dome lights. i am trying to decide if i want the 6 super flux led festoon bulb or the 25 smt circuit board bulb. i haven't seen a comparison between the two. i know that the smt is wide and bright especially with 25 of them. i know the super flux leds are supposed to be bright, its says on the site it has 3 chips within everyone which makes it 18 chips total but 3x brighter. i assume it has the brightness of 54 led lights. now im wondering how bright is the super flux compared to the circuit board. its because im debating is it worth the $10 difference between the two.

heres the links 2 both the bulbs i been looking at.

I'd recomend the second set. Both of them will be pretty bright, but working with super flux in the past, they tend to be discolored when you're using white. Some are pure white, others are yellowish white. So when you have six running, there may be two that are a slightly different hue. i'm not saying that the SMT doesn't have that issue, but it's pretty prevalent on the SF.

Just in case you did not get an answer to this, go with the circuit board if you can fit it, hands down it is the brightest. Any other questions about LEDs let me know.
