They stopped making those tubes recently. I know a local TV collector that has a hoard of those tubes and that was the explanation I was given.

I resemble that remark!
The price was right, free. I like those tubes. They're good for high bay. 16 feet above the floor.
The company I worked at, converted to Metal Halide 24 years ago. I took the better quality fixtures with the porcelain enamel shade and the better sockets.

I started hoarding incandescent bulbs back when they got banned... I'm so glad Trump eliminated that stupid ban. The market should decide what products to use, not the government.
Nothing drives up sales like implementing a ban or taking something out of production.
