    Anyone know of a commercial light fixture buyer?

    I was recently approached about selling some used commercial light fixtures. There's about 300 of them. These are in great condition and work. They're the fancy-looking recessed lights that are usually seen in office buildings. The only problem is that they're 227 volts, which is an odd size. I've tried selling them on Craigslist with ads in multiple cities, but so far haven't had any luck. I was just wondering if anyone knew of any commercial light fixture buyers or brokers out there.

    Not sure what kind of bulbs yours use but many offices are upgrading from the old T12 tubes to the T8 or T5's which requires a ballast upgrade as well. If you have the T8 or T5 try marketing them as energy efficient.

    Yea that 277 volt was what I was thinking when I read that post. Not every building has 277 to it

    Yeah, 227 volts is what I meant. I wasn't thinking when I typed that. I changed it

    They're the T8 bulbs. I'll try that. But what I'm really looking for is a person or company who deals in this kind of stuff to buy the entire lot of them.
