t5 lampholders

[benpoole28]

Anyone in macon/warner robins area know where to get some t5 lampholders? Ive tried lowes, hd, northern tool, ace hardware, and electrical supply houses. I didn't think they would be that hard to find. I can order them online but I want to finish my fixture this weekend if possible. Or if anyone has four laying around, I will gladly buy them, or order some and bring them to you when they come in. Thanks for any ideas.

I think online is the only way to go around here (for now ).. like $8 a piece I think?

Yeah, I gave up and just ordered a 10 pack of them on amazon. Hopefully they wont take too long to come in.

If the Amazon order takes too long, you can try Grainger in Macon? It wouldn't have helped over the weekend, because they are opened M-F. Here's a link; not sure if this is what you were looking for.

Ben was looking for a local place to purchase them. I found a local place for the purchase :yay:. The pricier ones are probably less likely to corrode within the first couple of weeks of the install. "Set them in and and forget it" comes to mind .

No problem; you'll be seeing an invoice arriving in your inbox very shortly :wow2:. Looks like I'll be getting my ATI T5 bulbs as well as my metal halide bulbs that I've been needing for a while now. Thank you, Ben . :shades: Just kiddin'! Glad to be of help today. Maybe I can just relax tomorrow?

Are these the endcaps?

 

[benpoole28]

Not sure what you mean, they are the sockets for the bulbs

How is this wired up?

 

[benpoole28]

The sockets just have two leads coming from them. I'll be using this diagram to wire mine.
