They had two of these for $3 each, sans ballast. I bought one. Same fixture design as the Lithonia ones at my school (but a different brand). The difference is that the reflector on this is mirrored instead of white. Also, my school doesn't have any 2ft versions of this. This was a single lamp fixture but I converted it to three lamp.
Thanks! Yeah these are used (in 4ft and 8ft tandem versions, with white reflectors) at my school too, which is really the only reason I bought this lol. They had two 8ft one lamp per cross section fixtures in the original boxes (one was opened). They were $29 though and I didn't have room in the car lol. It's the first time I've driven there by myself. Usually my mom or dad came with me. Now they trust me a little more since I've had my license longer lol. For $3 you can't beat this, even though the ballast from both was missing. I only bought this one though. Looking back, I should have bought both and used the other to replace the three-lamp F20T12 halfpiper in my grandma's basement...
EDIT/UPDATE: OK this light has since been mounted on the ceiling in the laundry room (not connected to service; the cord's been removed). Still sporting the Philips Alto F17T8/ADV830s though.
