I also don't think it's necessary to provide the same light intensity as full sunshine. Plants will do well with lower light levels.

Completely agree, photosynthesis is limited by many other things apart from the level of light.

Im really quite pleased with my 40/50 watt led corn bulbs at the moment, used them as a straight replacement for 200w envirolite (cfl). Plants are colouring up nicely.
