I don't know. I don't know about Home Depot since I don't shop there. At Lowe's, they carry Sylvania for all slimline and HO lamps. For F96T12 slimlines, Lowe's carries Sylvania 2-packs of the following: 60W CWX, 75W 3500K, 75W CWX, 75W Design 50 (90 CRI 5000K), and 75W daylight. For full cases of 8ft slimlines, they carry Sylvania 15-packs of the following: 60W CWX, 75W Design 50, and 75W daylight.
So not a bad variety. This is based on an online-search on the Lowe's site. Not sure if all are actually sold in-store.
LOL 8000K lamps are way to blue! I'd stick with 5000K probably. Or 3500K. Dunno if he'd even let me do it...
