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... :/
WHAAAAATT??? 400W mercs at Lowe's? 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.
Why welcome back Mike 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
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.
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.
