Got a call to replace some 2'x4' 4 lamp florescents that are built right into the finished drywall ceiling at a commercial building. Looking at the fixture it appears to be the same as a lay in type. I talked to the guys at the wholesale house and they say they don't carry a specific fixture but they think that some type of trim may be available that fit's around a conventional lay in.Anybody here familiar with a product that is already assembled as one unit and not something generic that can be pieced on to a regular fixture? Thanks.

The ones I have done the flush trim is a separate item. You need to do some carpentry work before the sheet rock goes up and install the trim. After sheet rock is up you lay the fixture in. I think the brand of the light was Tamlight. Add about 1 hr extra for installing the trim.

If the tombstones are servicable, I would just replace the ballast with new T-8 & T-8 lamps.
It would save the headache of dealing with sheetrock issues.
