Kind of a shot in the dark, anybody know and cheap fixtures that are energy star and DCL compliant?

@freemo fixture, if you know a combo cheap enough to put in section 8 housing I’ll be hella impressed.

@Vexrog Maybe there is a language barrier here but when I think of a fixture I am thinking of a socket for a light bulb. Fixtures themselves arent energy star compliant (I dont think, are they?) its the bulb that makes them compliant.

@freemo there isn’t, in that case I’m looking for combos. I am but a lowley GC trying to help a brother out

@Vexrog So why not jsut buy a bare bones socket at a hardware store (few dollars) and get a cheap fluorescent bulb. Should cover your needs.

@freemo We need 600 of them and I don’t think the prime would sign off on a submittal that read “cheap shit from HD”

@Vexrog I thought you needed section 8 cheap so was thinking about the cheapest option. So you really need bulk cheap huh? I'd have to place some calls for that one...

@freemo nah, I meant it’s going into a new section 8 building so they gotta be dirt fucking cheap, lowest I’ve found is $12 a piece but it ain’t DCL. Guess I’ll make some calls then.

@freemo It’s all good, TBH I think you may have been referring to a different kind of engineering in the instance description then I thought.

@Vexrog What kind do you think we meant and what kind do you think we didnt include? As far as I know we are inclusive of all Engineering.

@freemo like boring ass construction engineering. Seems you mean building your own new objects engineering

@Vexrog We would be inclusive of both. There is a lot of technical skill to construction. I would consider it just as much a part of STEM as anything else.
