Hi all, I am excited to announce the official beginning of my career in lighting. I have taken a position in electrical/lighting at my local Lowes to gain customer service experience, learn more about today's modern lighting products, and possibly have the opportunity to co-op with local electrical businesses during my tenure.

Lowes has a really impressive line of General Electric lighting products. GE now has four distinct categories of LED light bulbs.

Basic: Entry level lighting. Plastic LED lamps with standard lumens levels and light quality. Often sold in bulk packs and meant for contractors and builders.

Classic: Classic glass lamps with "good" light quality. Meant for homeowners on a budget.

HD Relax/Refresh: Classic glass lamps with "better" light quality and improved CRI. Available in Relax (pleasant soft white) and Refresh (energizing daylight) These look exactly like classic incandescent bulbs and feature LED filaments.

Reveal: Classic glass lamps with "the best" light quality. These have excellent CRI and the best definition of patterns and designs. Reds and greens appear particularly vivid with these bulbs. The glass is no longer neodymium infused. Rather, the LED filaments are tuned to produce high CRI light.

I'm glad to see GE is still a strong competitor in the LED lighting segment.

Congratulations on your new job! 
GE does seem to have a good line-up of LED lamps, which are decent quality. Do they still sell any GE incandescent or HID lamps at the Lowes you are working for?

Thank you  Yes, we still have a pretty good selection of incandescent, halogen, and HID lamps in my section. We have GE 150 and 200 watt A21's and GE 3-way incandescents. We have a few GE incandescent appliance bulbs type B (flame) bulbs and ceiling fan bulbs with the intermediate bases. The T3 halogens are made by Feit and I've heard they're pretty poor quality. However, the HID and fluorescent lineup is still strong. There are a few Hungarian made metal halide lamps that seem to be excellent quality. Many of the GE fluorescents and linear LED fluorescent replacements are still USA made. I feel really good about the products I'm in charge of 

Congratulations! Hope your job goes well.

Just curious, are GE fluorescent tubes still readily available at Lowe's? I looked up some F40T12 3500K tubes on Lowe's site and it looked like they were on clearance sale.

I was at Lowes the other day and bought a bunch of GE warm white tubes that were on clearance (over 75% off), some GE LED tubes were on clearance too. I think they might be slimming down their fluorescent stock, possibly to make more room for LEDs.

I might have to stop by Lowes sometime & see if there's any clearances at the store here..

Congratulations Camden!
