Well since you asked..... Some Home Depot's and Lowes will take the unbroken tubes because the tubes contain Mercury so they must be properly disposed. The metal parts can also be recycled in a "metal only dumpster" however if you have only a few fixtures just toss them in your trash since they will rust away in a landfill.

FWIW my local HD stopped taking flo tubes...![]()
How long is the plug in cord on these? The pictures make it look like the cord is about a foot long...any real world info on that?
i had a friend pick up 8 for my 30x40x10. wondering if thats enough now
It was a different model, right? I didn't stop as I walked by, but I think it looked different.$29.99, no rebate, at my local Costco as of yesterday afternoon.
I picked up bulbs only today for 17.99
plug and play in existing ballast equipped fixtures.
Dang! They work GOOD !

I believe the motion detector ones currently have a $10 rebate bringing them down to $29.99. The ones w/o motion detection that we all have are back and still at $29.99.
At least this is what I remember seeing at my store last week. I'll check again later this morning.
EDIT: Checked and the motion activated ones actually have an $8 rebate, making the final price $31.99. Older non-motion are still $29.99.
Are these going to be on sale again ?
Next week.
I can't speak to these lights in general, but I have sworn off the Feit brand due to several premature florescent and led bulb failures. Take it as you will.
How easy is it to convert these to a existing hard wired/flush installation. Can you easily remove the bulbs and punch a hole in the top of the panel to feed existing romex thru?
Man. I just bought one of these on Sunday for $29.99.
If you buy ten at one time, can you buy ten more at a later date and get the rebate?
I'm considering getting some of these for my shop/garage, but I'm torn about getting something nonservicable. It does seem as though at $20, they're half as much as a T8 fixture with a pair of LED bulbs. Decisions, decisions.

Buy one or two spares and you'll self insure for $40.
