F25T8/SP41
Found this in the discard pile at school. Turns out they only used two lamps from the case and tossed the rest. I don't think the school has 3' fixtures anymore ever since they got rid of the old escalators in the library. There used to be recessed 3' lights under the escalators but the escalators got replaced with stairs in 2014. 

F25T8s are kinda hard to find here since most of the hardware stores only stock F30T12s, you have to go to a lighting store to get them here. Anyway I also have a magnetic F25T8 RS ballast so maybe I'll get a 3' fixture from Restore and convert it to T8.

Nice! They seem hard to find here too. I only see the F30T8s and F30T12s for the most part.

Thanks! I think I got a few looks lugging that case home on the train lol.

I noticed that aside from 4' T8s, the other sizes are pretty hard to find and are also only available in one colour. Seems only lighting and electrical stores stock the full line.

Yeah even F17T8s you can't ever seen to find by the case. When you do find the lamps they're loose and typically only 4100K or 3500K. Not much variety like there is with F32T8s.

Yeah, the hardware stores here sell only 3500K 2' T8s, nothing else lol. I wanted 4100K T8s for my basement troffers so I had to go to a lighting store if I didn't find a partial case at Restore.

Nice lamps. That's sad that they would just throw them out like that! Glad a lighting collector got them.

Thanks! I suppose they didn't have a use for them.
