I think Lowe’s may be discontinuing HID and fluorescent « on: December 10, 2025, 09:10:50 PM » Author: Cole D.
I noticed lately that all the remaining HID (MH and HPS) and fluorescent (tubes, CFL, circline and PL) at Lowe’s have been on clearance. I grabbed a circline for my bedroom fixture and a 70 W Lucalox HPS for my NEMA last time. Decided to go again tonight and they were gone. Looked around and everything had been moved to a tall movable cart in another aisle, so grabbed a few more. My guess they’ll be donating what’s left soon and it’ll all wind up at Habitat. I guess this is it for that selection at Lowe’s. High wattage incandescents still remain. Oddly some LED circline retrofits on clearance cart as well.

That’s what I’m wondering as well. There aren’t any others nearby to check, but I had thought I heard at other stores they weren’t on clearance. I remember they clearanced them in the past when switched from the Sylvania brand to GE, but that doesn’t seem to be what’s happening this time, and then it was all bulbs.

Is your state doing any fluorescent/incandescent bulb bans like Colorado has?  We still can purchase HID but CFL/Fluorescent and most incandescent bulbs are banned with only a few specialty allowed.

I saw this week that now they’ve changed back to Sylvania for HID and to Cree for circline fluorescent. So that’s why the GE are on clearance.

Wait a second... Cree for fluorescent? Does Cree actually make fluorescent lamps?

Feit Electric acquired Cree's lamps division, so I'm sure they're identical to whatever was being sold previously under the Feit brand.  I'm surprised they decided to bring non-LED products under the Cree name.  Looking at the Lowes website they are marketing Cree HID lamps too.

Nice to see the Sylvania name make a return at Lowes.

Yeah, I thought that was odd too, swing fluorescents sold under Cree brand, I kept looking to make sure they were actually fluorescent and not LED retrofits! I didn’t see any Feit HIDs here. Also, MV is still not being stocked. I did take a picture of the shelf showing everything, which I can upload.

Whatever Feit Electric is doing sounds like something they’d do. They’re like the Yum! Brands of lighting.
