Personally I think the original fixtures themselves were better looking, the replacements just look cheezy/cheap
however I have seen 2 ballasts fail at my store already
The new fixtures here look kinda like the generic parabolic ones they replaced....except that the 'parabolic'/cover thingie is all white plastic rather than the normal shiny/reflective stuff
I wonder If the new fixtures use F48T8/HO (44watt) lamps?
----
I have seen 6-lamp troffers before (but they were old)
I also saw some 4'x4' 8-lamp troffers (again OLD stuff) at a mall/store that is now long gone..even as a kid I wanted one of those...
The F40T12 & F40T10 versions of "Service Long Life Guaranteed" (made by Philips I believe) seemed to be good lamps. I've never seen a T8 version.
@A_lights
I do like the brightness of those GE 32w Startcoat lamps.
Haven't used one, but I've heard some of the high BF F32T8 ballasts will even overdrive a bit (has a BF of a bit more than 1 )
In this case I was thinking 'Ballast Factor' - or how close it comes to driving the lamps at their rated wattage ...
I just googled 'Bower Factor' to see what'd come up ... guess there actually is such a term
Can be totally honest when saying never had a boyfriend LOL

maybe BF could also be:
Black Friday
Best Friend
Bond Fire
...or probably a ton of others
