Fluorescent Fixture Sources

[johnny watt]

They say the middleman has to add value. My local suppliers don?t add value when it comes to fixtures.
They don?t stock much and rely on the manufacturer for design advice.

If I am going to have to wait a few days for parts I might as well make it a week and get a better price.
When I am doing a group replacement on lamps I buy from the online stores.
I have been using Ruud for a lot of fixtures but they don?t sell troffers.
Can anyone recommend a direct source for troffers?

Metalux and Lithonia makes them.

I believe the OP was looking for a direct ship mfg. I don't think Lithonia or Metalux will sell direct. I tried buying some cans from www.e-conolight. com the other day and they weren't that bad. They don't sell troffers though.

We use Holophane. Not sure what quantity would be needed, but they have provided us with great service. Here is the link.

Check out their new catalog Troffers starting on page 244. Lamps are separate.
