Put up some cold start 8 foot fluorescent lights 8 new fixtures so I needed 16 bulbs had a box of 15 brand name bulbs delivered from TX $205 total for 15 bulbs. Went to town the hardware stores did not have the right ends and few to pick from so I went to the electric supply store in town. They charge 3% on card purchases but also charged $41 total for 2 bulbs.

Looks like fluorescent bulbs must all come from Poland I did not know that Sylvania and GE bulbs both come from there.

Id like to buy local but it’s often the double price that seems ridicules any way I look at it.

I thought you were going to bypass the ballast and go with LED's?

Hate to say but I get a lot of stuff from Amazon now, local is petering out here and no one can get close to their prices...

I had the 8 fixtures from the fire settlement already I went LED strip lights in the fur shed so these would work in the unheated metal building. I don’t think the new LED idea was out back then if it was I never knew about it. LOL
