I recently visited my local Home Depot in Ontario Canada and noticed the lightbulb section took up less of the space compared to before and there was no sign of any fluorescent lamps! Not even LED T8. Just all LED filament lamps. There was still a few incandescent bulbs offered as well.

Now I didn't have time to walk the whole store or see the light fixture section, so it's possible and I'm hoping that the rest are just moved there.


If anyone else has been to a HD lately, let me know what yours had. Hoping the tubes were just moved elsewhere in the store. I was hoping they still had F48T12HO as I need a few.

The Home Depots in my area did a reorganization in late 2023.

• All the fluorescent lamps and LED fluorescent lamps got moved to the lighting fixture section
• I think they still have F20, F40, F96T12, F96T12HO, F17T8, F32T8, and F96T8 but the range has shrunk. No more F15 lamps or 5000K lamps
• The sole remaining HID lamp, the ED17 70w HPS is now on clearance
• The last of the fluorescent fixtures (2x4 T8 troffers, striplights, and wireguards) are now on clearance
• They still sell a 2 lamp T8 ballast, 4 lamp T8 ballast, and 2 lamp T12 ballast
• The regular screw in LED lamps, CFLs and incandescent lamps are still in their old location

Home Depots in Winnipeg moved the "non GLS" lamps to the commercial / light fitting isle and are NOT in the GLS bulb section anymore
HID are all but GONE but floro and LED "drop in" floro are all over there and still well represented

I'm glad to hear that they've just moved them, I'll have a look again next time and see what's on offer at mine.

Had me worried the "day" has come 


On a side note I noticed some of the LED filament lamps had a new filament design that's thicker than the ones I've most commonly seen, I wonder what the benifits are to that.

At least there's a few incandescents for you

No home depot in my country but the equivalent big-box store only has noname white plastic LED bulbs, most in cool white because for some reason people here love cool white light (not me) available and a few "filament" type models in low wattages. I don't trust those stores when it comes to lighting or electrical supplies, it's all midrange quality at best, and prices are high compared to smaller stores in town.
