Lowes and Sam's are where i bought my chrome 5 shelf sets. They are nice and run about 100.00. You can get the shop light fixtures at Walmart and also can get the full spectrum lights at Walmart for only 6.50. I think the fixtures are 8.00.

The first few sets I put up I didn't know any better and bought the shop fixtures with the hoods at Lowes and also got the lights there. They were much more expensive and no more attractive than the ones at Walmart.

The other 4 sets I have came from the Container Store in Houston. Unfortunately you would have to get to San Antonio for a store. They are black or chrome (I got black) but they are almost twice the cost of the ones at Lowe's and Sam's.

I just snapped a couple of pics to show you the difference. I had to use a flash as the gro lights are off for the night. The chrome stand has the shop lights from Lowes and they have started to rust (and were more expensive than the white ones at Walmart)

The second picture is the top of the black shelves i got in Houston at the Container store.
If you find something new, Sally............let us know........
