I hope they at least keep at least one Zellers store in my area...don't really want to see them all converted to Targets. Razz

There's a Walmart near me with drop ceilings and troffers instead of the standard striplights and open ceiling. It does look a bit nicer than the others.

The one thing i like about walmart over target is that they sell HID fixtures and lamps. They carry Regent MV lamps from early as 2000. Shocked
joe_347V   [Sep 29, 2011 at 02:19 AM]
Mine dosen't anymore. Sad They did sell them around ten years ago though, I have a couple of Regent 175w blasters with Walmart inventory labels from around that time.
streetlight98   [Sep 29, 2011 at 02:22 AM]
They don't sell Regent fixtures anymore. They sell the MH and HPD Brinks ones. The newer medium base HPS and MH lamps are Brinks too, but the old mercury lamps with 10 years of dust are Regent. The store is becoming a Super Center, so those lamps may be going. And i may swipe them off the self with a few incandescnets. Smile
joe_347V   [Sep 29, 2011 at 02:26 AM]
My Walmart sells GE incandescents and fluorescents, oddly they also sell the 100-200-300w three way mogul...although I've yet to see someone buy them.
streetlight98   [Sep 29, 2011 at 02:29 AM]
Here they only sell medium base incandescents. They sell up to 4ft tubes at my local walmart. The Great Value CFLs are everywhere too. Rolling Eyes Do i choose Great Value of LOA CFLs? Razz Laughing They both suck. At least they sell GE lamps too. Surprised
gailgrove   [Sep 29, 2011 at 02:31 AM]
I bought one of those from Canadian Tire, it was for a light my Mom bought from Goodwill (after I convinced here to since it was old and use mogul three ways) It turned out the 200 watt filament was dead when I got it so it went back to the store, the light was going to be too bright for my Mom anyways so it's now in storage.
joe_347V   [Sep 29, 2011 at 02:33 AM]
Mine has 4' tubes too and they sell Great Value, Globe, and GE CFLs here. The Great Values are actually rebranded Globes though, only LOA stuff is those junky LED lamps. Rolling Eyes

@Niall I've found this at my local Canadian Tire. Shocked
streetlight98   [Sep 29, 2011 at 02:36 AM]
We use medium base 3-ways. It's 50/200/250w

lol how does a talk about lamps turn into "battle of the retail" Laughing Laughing

we have ONE target and at least Four Walmarts.
HPSM250R2   [Feb 22, 2012 at 04:07 AM]
All this talk of Wal-Mart and Target. I guess nobody here has Publix stores where they live? I just started working at Publix like 6 months ago.
Form109   [Feb 22, 2012 at 04:29 AM]
all this talk of retail stores and little discussion about the LAMP in the picture. Laughing
joe_347V   [Feb 22, 2012 at 04:56 AM]
Hmm, never heard of Publix before, but I wonder how many of you have been to a Canadian Tire before.

Over here in terms of lamp selection, Lowe's and Rona have the widest.
Silverliner14B   [Feb 22, 2012 at 07:41 AM]
Yup been to Publix when I was visiting relatives in Florida, its a supermarket so no HID lamps are sold, lol. I think they sell GE light bulbs, both incandescent and cfl.

ahem...we have a Forum for this...not a comment thread. Razz
GullWhiz   [Feb 22, 2012 at 01:52 PM]
Ahem, Devonte, Dave (Silverliner14b) and Joe are the Admins and you are not, but thanks for the input, next time instead of acting as an admin, send them a personal message of your opinion or post your complaint on the forum. Thank you.
joe_347V   [Feb 22, 2012 at 07:53 PM]
I find it funny how Devonte's pics gets shoeboxed (long random comment threads) the most out of everyone here. Laughing
Form109   [Feb 22, 2012 at 08:54 PM]
@Joe yes i must have a Random Thread magnet attatched to my pictures,i tried removing it but that GULLglue is stout! Shocked Laughing

wonder what's in that stuff. Razz

as for you jace...i am not acting as an admin..and i know this isn't a communism forum but i'd rather have no comments at all than a long string of comments not related to the picture at all. Razz

especially since you were going to remove one of my photos due to a long string of comments not related to the picture (the shoebox picture)
GullWhiz   [Feb 22, 2012 at 09:17 PM]
Okay understood...Devonte......Good answer on this case Very Happy
streetlight98   [Feb 22, 2012 at 09:33 PM]
Why don't we just bring back the "shut off comments" button? Very Happy
