We get all our bulbs at a local electrical supply house (look in the 
Yellow Pages under "Electrical Supplies")   We buy a carton (24?) at a 
time and they're significantly cheaper than Home Depot was, or our 
local hardware store.

Heidi,

Try homedepot.com and see if they carry it online.  I worked for Home 
Depot while in college.  Sometimes when a store stops carrying 
something, it's a decision made at the regional office.  However, other 
regions may still carry the product(s), and they may still sell them on 
the website.



Also, ask someone at the special service desk if the bulbs have 
actually been discontinued, they may be able to tell you if another 
store has them or even get them transfered to your local store.

In an effort to streamline things and possibly save money as well as 
time, I’m looking for a source 
to order light bulbs for our track 
lighting systems in bulk.





One of the track lighting systems in our museum takes the large 65w 
spots which we used to get at Home Depot. Unfortunately they have 
decided not to carry spot lights anymore – a mystery to me but I’m not 
versed in retail hardware sales and marketing strategies. What do 
others on the list do for supplying bulbs for their museums?
