Where would eggcrate be at home depot section wise? Thanks

it is with the lighting. It is used to cover overhead flourescent light fixtures.

with the lighting near celing fans etc.

^ like Jasontkd said, look in the lighting section. call it light diffuser if they don't know what you're talking about.

It's called "flourescent light diffuser" at Home Depot. If you ask for eggcrate you'll get a blank stare followed by an "I dunno".

At the local HD it is in the drop down ceiling area, close to lumber in front of contractors checkout; however, they only carry the metallic. Check Lowes.

You would think so. I asked a guy at our Lowe's, he said "Oh.....Yea....I know what you're talking about, but NO, We don't sell that here..."

I walked to the lighting section (RC advice) and up on the wall in big letters "EGG-CRATE"

siwelk · 02/12/2008, 05:59 PM

it actually said egg-crate? when i went to HD and asked for eggcrate the guy was like ***? i asked about the white-grid light diffuser and he pointed me to the lighting section.

I've had a hard time finding it too, it's like the employees don't know what they stock or something

MikeCentore · 02/12/2008, 07:00 PM

I found mine in the lighting section

reefergeorge · 02/12/2008, 08:14 PM

It is in the lumber/ raw material by the drop ceiling panels.

I never see it on display at mine.. I find it in the florescent lighting section in a cardboard box on the floor under a shelf.
