Where do you get that white grating?

I was a Lowes a few hours ago picking up some supplies for an incubator I am converting from an old Red Bull cooler.
While I was there I was trying to find that white grating stuff to use for a shelf in the incubator. I asked 3 different people working there and no one had any idea what I was talking about.
Does anyone know what that stuff is technically called? Has anyone been able to buy it from Home Depot or Lowes?

Home depot brudda in the lighting area near the recessed lighting cans and what not it runs anywhere from 5.00-12.00 depending on the store I noticed.

Ever look up when in a Drs office or any professional office? Its the stuff on the ceiling with the fluorescent lights behind it. Sometimes its hanging from cords suspended just below the lights. I don't know what its called but its some sort of light diffuser and yes its in the lighting/electrical dept.

Check hardware stores, home depot, lowes it's where the drop ceilings supplies are . they are one type of lighting diffuser use for drop ceilings.

lol I'll check Lowes one more time before I take a trip to the closest doctors office:D

It's eggcrate or lighting grid.

got mine at home depot but ask about the light dis fussers not seen them at my lowes but then again i astill wrking off the orginal piece i got. thebest way to cut it is with an iron mine wanted to breaking in sections for me (just burn it outside.)

yep, Home Depot lighting section, under where the 4 foot fluorescent tube lights are displayed.

I have found it in both Lowes and HomeDepot

As for cutting...
I use a large pair of D y k e s (Wire cutters, it censored the name) and just snipp one at a time. The first time is a little slow but once you get the rhythm it is pretty fast...LOL

I use d y k e s also for cutting mine. They are strong and have a biased blade so you can get in close with your cuts.

Same thing here
