Publix Lighting

[Adam D.]

Thanks......Some pictures are yellowish and some are white...If you look at fluorescent lighting and moved you eyes around you can see yellow. That cord was wired on by me. The lights were wired together when they were in the store, some wires went though some of the fixtures, so when they closed at night they could turn alot of them off to save power. Some of them were on 24/7 for over 30 years, other than power outages and hurricanes...

Its funny how fluorescent lights can take so many different colors: sometimes they are blue, pink, yellowish or greenish.

I have a lot of these kinds of old 1960s wires in my house.


There also these four fluorescent bars that are getting more rare to see in grocery and pharmacy stores. They were popular around the late 70s to late 90s. I often see those discolored and all turn yellowish or even burned.

Anyone been in or seen a store in which the fluorescent bulbs all had the blue tint to them and looked about twice as bright as normal fluorescent bulbs? Seems like I've seen them like this in drugstores and a couple of salons (I don't go to salons lolol, but I have seen them through the window or in the mall)

They sound incredibly tacky and should be removed immediately.

What is that silliness going about ''des bras''?!? I rote BARS NOT bras (bras means arms in english in case you did not know) I was suprised to see JW use a french word.

You wrote "bras" and then corrected it, thinking no one would figure it out.

We're smarter than you.

my favorite fluoriescent lights are looks like "blue tint" type look when they light up,i got that kind of fluoriescent bulbs in my night light and table lamp..

however when it comes to fluoriescent lighting,my church has those vintage look in the coffee room(no pics of it yet,but when i go to church this coming wednesday,i will try to remember to take pics of it) and i will post them here,they are real neat looking fixures.

How can a French word stayed in my reply, I always press the ''Spell Check'' button before post my reply. And I remember reread it and I read Bars Not Bras. I know that you don't understand French but not need to make fun of it.
Maybe the spell check corrector did take as a English word. Does bras also means something in English?
(sometimes I just type too fast)

Bra = short for brassiere (sp), ¿comprende?

I love cluture, especially girl-wise, i like spanish or european girls. btw whatever happened to that "flourex" user, i think he started the whole lighting craze on here and would have probably liked to see the lights we got.

[Adam D.]

Thanks, yes they flicker as there turned on. I don't know what happended to him, I thought he would be intrested too.....I'm trying to get a hold of Publix to find out anymore info. There is no e-mails on their site, only to message through their site..

speaking of flourecent lights that flicker, we got a flourecent fixture in our laundry room, but its only a few years old, i was surprised to see that right now since the bulb is bad, its really dim and flickers too being as how its new.

I went to a hardware store that I love, that has tin ceilings and old fluorescent light fixtures. They actually replaced all the sockets with new sockets, so the bulbs look more close together and modern. The fixture casings are still old.
