Oh no... « on: June 29, 2016, 10:33:54 AM » Author: wattMaster
1000Bulbs.com is having a clearance/sale of essentially anything (Fluorescent and Halogen) except LED, which is a bad sign to me. Is the lighting apocalypse coming, at least for this site?

Doesn't look like a clearance, just a 15% off sale. There are still too many traditional lights around to discontinue them yet.

They seem to be pushing LED, and using LED items for all of their generic fixture types. But I agree with you.

Thats normal for everyone now though, to `push` for LED, I`ve come to expect it!

But at least other lighting websites are better about this.

I noticed this too. Lots of mercs and ED28 400w halides.  I really hope that they don't start getting rid of their HID ballasts too, their ballasts are literally the cheapest place to get them anywhere.

They might get rid of the magnetic ones, leaving electronic.
