Hi - I just wanted to check and see what Grainger catalog you were getting
your information from. I just received my 1996 Catalog (No. 387) and it
appears that they no longer carry Phillips bulbs - as far as I can tell,
they only carry GE/Sylvania fluorescent lamps. You may have to find
another source for the Phillips lamps, 'cause I don't think you'll be able
to buy the Utralumes at Grainger. (Who knows, maybe they still have some in
stock?)
Hope this prevents some frustration...
Cold and cloudy in Ann Arbor (and wishing I were in record 100 degree heat
down in Texas!),
