almost a year ago, I was gonna order an F96T12 2 lamp fixture on lowes.com. it said they had three available. however i got busy with something else, and when i went to order it just a day later. the stock was permanently gone. and since then, I have not been able to find another online that will ship. Ideally it would be HO with magnetic ballast, but at this point even just a housing would be reasonable. i am looking for an F96T12. not T8 or 4 lamp tandem.

This one might be a bit hard. Home Depot Canada still lists the Metalux SSF296T124WP for sale but it looks to be unavailable from the American Home Depot site.
