4-footers might be more economical, better light distribution w/ less watts,
can put them on various kinds of switches (incl individual pull chains) for
more lighting control.
I've learned not mess with anything that's "rare".

But if you want, there is a fluorescent guy by me who makes fixtures from
scratch, to order.
Sparkle Lighting, Yonkers, NY.
I've bought a bunch of fixtures from him, 'til I discovered the $6-7 4-ft
T8's at HD.
Number should be on yellowpages.com or sumpn. If not, email me.
Also has T8 bulbs 33% cheaper than g-d HD. $2 vs. $3.

Who sells these? I have been racking my brain on this one. I am
looking for an 8' 2 bulb (not 2- 4' 2 bulbs ganged together but one
long 8' 2 bulb) T8 fixtures for my barn. I have called all the local
area Home Depots and Loews as well as several electrical supply
companies and no one seems to have these, plus none seem to think they
even make them. I also called 2 local electricians and both called
their supplier that said the same thing. The odd thing is almost any
Home Depot or Loews I talk to have the bulbs in stock but not the
fixtures.

The really weird thing is I cannot find them online either. The only
place that has them is goodmart.com, but they have a 14 day ship time.
I have not called, but they are probably backordered everything else
ships out in 1 day.

Is it just me why does everyone seem to stock bulbs for a fixture that
no one can buy?

Any help would be appreciated.
