Without Grid.
What are the grid-thingy called? I know the fixture ITSELF is Parabolic Troffer. But that's all I know. xD

Here is the light lit without the grid-thingy.  Looks fine to me. Is the Grid-thingy for decoration?

No, the parabolic reflector was used to minimize glare on those older tube computer screens. These aren't commonly used anymore as tube screens for computers are obselete.

Well I've seen new installations of these, not even in places with computers! Kohls stores has them as well as other upscale retail stores.

Ian :What brand lamps are they? I'm guessing sylvania

Yep. Stores use them for the same reason: lower glare. JC Penny's, CVS, and Target use them too. Walmart uses lowbay fluorescents here which do an OK job of lighting the store....

Most Walmarts here use two lamp industrials in rows for lighting, but I've seen them use troffers if the store has a drop ceiling, or even fluorescent highbays.

They use recessed two lamp industrials/lowbays here in the drop ceiling. They use GE EcoLux T8s.

One of the lamps that were in here was sylvania, the other two weren't. (The sylvania one is the more yellow 3500k Color tempurature, easy to tell in this pic. xD)

But now I have three GE lamps of 4100k Cool white in this fixture now that I got at Lowes.

ALso, Target doesn't exactly use Parabolic Troffers in their NEW stores, They use some other kind that are different, but look similar. The grid thingy on the TARGET ones aren't a reflector, they are just white and for decoration mostly. The older target stores used the parabolic troffers, byt instead of having a 3-by-6 grid, they had a 2-by-six grid.

Lots of stores still use these, though. I do know Kohls I know uses them, since I always get my clothes there. xD

I get my clothes mainly at JC Penny. They don't seem to like replacing pink lamps there as i see plenty when I go there.
