Do the people who make these fixtures ever change the bulbs in them? My wife’s small office has them and the interior bulbs on the 4 bulb lights are hard to get out- if the fixture was 1/8 inch longer the bulbs would come out easier!!
Are they all like this or is it just our brand. Id blame it on Cheap Chinese but they were installed in 1986

yes, troffler-
I knew that,:) so try taking them out like I suggested, sometimes it does take two hands. heck, every once in a while one justs gets stubborn and I end up pushing the fixtures out of the track trying to get new lamps in.

Design a 50" x 24" grid system and panels.
Then longer fixtures will fit.

The problem is the lamps were originally sized for an open 4' fixture. The troffer loses about an inch to the rails, and that makes things tight.
Another option is open fixtures above a translucent ceiling.
