F30T12 Fluorescent Fixtures « on: April 17, 2022, 03:05:45 AM » Author: suzukir122
I'm on the hunt for several F30T12 fluorescent fixtures... eight of them, to be exact. But... I can't find any online for sale!!!... not even one. Any help? If anyone sees several F30T12 fixtures for sale online, post a link to them and I'll buy. Keyword is online... I will not be picking up, and I want to be able to get those fixtures shipped to me. (Several different reasons behind that.)

@Joseph_125, I failed to mention that the fixtures must be 2 lamp F30T12 fixtures, definitely not the one lamp versions. I also failed to mention something that you brought up... the fixtures can also be T8 fixtures, as long as I can replace the ballasts with T12s, and as long as the lamps can fit. The 2 lamp F30T12's are rare, I knew that, but they seem to be way more rare than I originally thought.

I should add that I've also thought about finding fixtures through like, part numbers or code numbers, etc... but I don't know of any part numbers, code numbers, etc... to find 2 lamp F30T12 fixtures for sale

@Joseph_125, yeah it looks as if that's the route I'm gonna have to take... converting T8 fixtures to T12's. If the T12 sockets can fit (because I would definitely replace the T8 sockets) and if the magnetic T12 ballasts can also fit, I'll be good. I say this because I know some newer T8 fluorescent fixtures are purposely made thinner to prevent installing magnetic ballasts. Same thing with the sockets lol

@Funkybulb, sounds good. It's really important that I mention that the fixtures absolutely must be identical with one another, so that they'll look good in tandem with each other, like the rows of fluorescent fixtures in school classrooms, grocery stores, etc. If they're not identical with one another, I won't get/buy them. If they're identical with each other, and if you're wanting to sell them on Ebay or similar trustworthy websites, I will gladly buy them. I'm looking to buy eight F30T12 fixtures in total.

I'm still on the strong hunt for 8 F30T12 fluorescent fixtures... right now the 1st link that @Joseph_125 provided to those T8 fixtures, has my strongest interest, mainly because of price... but it seems as if they've only got 6 available. (company wide) I'm hoping for 8 total fixtures. That right there is the biggest thing holding me back from purchasing those Lithonia fixtures. The Metalux ones are a bit too expensive, and only 4 available.

... now THAT'S what I'm talking about. This helped me a lot! As of now I don't have the funds to get any of those fixtures, at all. Can't get any ballasts yet either. It's possible that after my next paycheck, I might be able to dig into purchasing some of those fixtures. Certainly not 8 of them, at least not yet. C225 is the biggest help right now, unfortunately, since the amount of them being sold meets the amount I need. I'd just have to find quality full power T12 ballasts and more T12 30w or 25w lamps. I'll be searching eBay for C225 and C230, if those ones you posted a link to all get sold out. I didn't know the fixture code numbers or anything of the sort, so this really helps. Thanks man, @Joseph_125!
