Picked Up Some Bulbs at Lowe's...
My local Lowe's had some lamps on clearance today, I guess they weren't selling well. Anyways the Sylvania appliance lamps (for my exit sign) were cleared out because they've switched their specialty bulb supplier to Feit. I guess the 75w Reveals weren't selling well too along with the 18w appliance T8 and the two mercs.

Also it seems my Lowe's is clearing out most of their HID lamps too... :/

Nice, Sylvania oddites bulbs. I am guessing the general purpose is sold by another brand Confused
joe_347V   [Aug 26, 2012 at 05:50 PM]
Nope, the general purpose lamps for now are still Sylvania.

WHAAAAATT??? 400W mercs at Lowe's? Shocked Very Happy Razz The only 400W lamps here are probe start MH and sometimes 400W HPS. They seem to alternate between 250 and 400W HPS depending on the store. Nice finds BTW. Cool

Why welcome back Mike Laughing and thanks, I put the 100w MV in my R47 so I could put less hours on the NOS CGE lamp I had in there before. The Lowe's here used to stock 400w MH and HPS too.

When they first opened we had these HID lamps:
(All are Sylvania unless noted)
HPS:
35w
50w (med)
70w (med)
100w (med)
150w (med & mog)
400w

MV:
80w (diffused Feit)
100w (med /DX)
175w (clear and/DX)
400w (/DX)

MH:
70w ( med protected)
175w
250w
400w

Hmm. The one's here seem to have stayed consistant with their HID lamps and though the selection isn't that big here it hasn't really downsized. I remember seeing 35W HPS lamps though and i don't see them anymore.
joe_347V   [Aug 26, 2012 at 07:58 PM]
Yeah Lowe's really downsized their selection of HID lamps over the years, I just hope they don't clear everything out. :/

I see I am not the only guy who found a 400w MV at Lowes in 2011~12. (I found mine in 2011.)
Silverliner14B   [Aug 27, 2012 at 05:05 AM]
Yep they used to sell 400w MV, not anymore.
mercuryvaporrocks   [Aug 27, 2012 at 03:07 PM]
They stopped stocking them a few years ago.
A_lights   [Aug 27, 2012 at 05:50 PM]
that would explain why my 3 year old store near me never got them
joe_347V   [Aug 27, 2012 at 05:54 PM]
Hmm that's interesting, I believe the store I got these from opened in 2009.
streetlight98   [Aug 27, 2012 at 07:59 PM]
The stores here have been remodeled over the years but have been around for a long time.
joe_347V   [Aug 27, 2012 at 09:42 PM]
Lowe's has only been in Canada since late 2007 so most of their stores are still original. I might grab another 100w merc though since they're only 10 bucks.
rjluna2   [Sep 21, 2012 at 12:17 AM]
Hey, Joe: By any chance find any Sylvania night lights at the same place you bought here? Confused

I get every chance to find these Sylvania Double Life Clear 4 Watts Smile
joe_347V   [Sep 21, 2012 at 03:41 AM]
They're sold in a lot of places here, most grocery stores sell Sylvania and stock them.....

At least the 400w MV can be a modern "Tester" lamp, as well as something to delay having to put vintage lamps in use.
joe_347V   [Nov 30, 2013 at 07:37 PM]
I actually did use it to test my 400w MH ballast before I stuck the clear Bonusline in it.
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Nov 30, 2013 at 10:15 PM]
Good idea for sure!
