This is like a blast from the past out of a Dr. Fosters & Smith mailer catalog!

Yeah they are kinda old-school, but thought I’d offer them up in case anyone can use them. I’ll dispose of them properly if there are no takers for a while.

Would these fit in an 24 sunblaze?

Umm, I think I have quite a few PC lamps in my classroom storage! Yep. When starting up there I couldn’t afford expensive LED and didn’t trust cheapo ones or MH. I wonder if they are straight pin or square pin?

You, sir, do not disappoint! (And that is some good info BTW. Gotta check some endcaps.)
Until now I did not realize how nice it is to not have those bulky ballasts! If I catch myself complaining about LED light cables I will remember that.
