Louvers Galore « on: June 13, 2022, 03:31:57 AM » Author: joseph_125
Now, I'm not sure if you can actually buy them but you can surely rent them. A lot of prop rental houses have louver fluorescent lights for rent. I suppose if you can, you could probably convince them to sell them to you. Now they might have been retrofitted but I suppose the parts needed to convert them back (ballasts, lampholders, etc) can be had on eBay easier than a fixture. In case you're wondering where a modern film/TV show with louvered fixtures in the set got them from, they probably got them from these places.

Some styles I recognize include: Day-Brite Lennox-4, Day-Brite Viz-Aid-2, Lithonia Chief-Lite, Amalgamated Luvex, etc

Full disclaimer, I'm not sure if these companies will sell/rent to individuals. I suppose you could try contacting them if you want to buy one of those lights. If not I suppose the pictures are some good eye candy. They also tend to be located in cities that have a local film industry (Los Angeles, Vancouver, Toronto etc)
