This isn't an April fools joke?

I don't think so.

Yeah it looks like they're the four foot versions too.

The 4 ft lamps.aren't made in powergrove,anymore .... if I'm right they only sell the 8Ft grooves in cool white

WAIT... this is under "light humour" though.

Yess.....

These aren't 4' Powergrooves. My 4' Powergroove doesn't have any skips in the grooves like these have. So these are the 8' ones. It's an April Fool's joke. Sad to see any sized Powergrooves getting busted like this.

So glad to have caused such controversy on April Fool's Day. You guys picked up on all the nuances in a short period of time. So, here's the scoop. Unfortunately, the picture is real....an entire case of 8' Powergrooves was destroyed due to poor packaging by the company that sent them (and poor handling by the carrier). However, these lamps aren't mine, and the company did replace them. I would have cried for days if I really dropped a case of these. Oh, BTW FGS, my 4' Powergrooves DO have the skips...they were made later than yours.

Ouch!!! At least its not yours, although its quite unfortunate for that person.

Ohh... Another piece of history bite the dust.

I'm not sure they are really historic, they may of been brand new after all GE still makes them.

They ARE new. I can make out the "Hg" symbol on the etch.
