Cheap F18T8 Tubes « on: September 15, 2025, 08:32:52 PM » Author: NeXe Lights
I cannot seem to find these for less than $4 per tube for a case of them. So, I thought I'd ask for some help.

F18T8s were sold as $2 per tube in shops near me, but now the stocks are over. It is best to find them from office spaces that recently changed out their lighting to led. I found a dozen 18w tubes in the trash from an office building, all were slightly used but working.

Do you know what length of F18T8 tubes you are looking for? I am aware that North America had used 24” F18T8 tubes, 26” F18T8 tubes, 28” F18T8 tubes, and 30” F18T8 tubes that were mostly intended for appliances.
