Hi Jim,
When I am at HD in the morning I will ask before loading up the van with 4’
tubes.

Tony,
Before you go to HD check with them to make sure they still recycle. My
HD in Lake Zurich, IL stopped recycling fluorescent tubes recently. They still
take the curly CFLs. I would hate to see you arrive at the HD with a carload of
tubes only to be turned away. Their answer when I asked, "What should I do with
them?" was throw them in the garbage can. I checked and it is legal from
residences.

Tony,
Thanks.
You have to properly dispose of fluorescent bulbs. Big box stores such as HD or
Lowes have bins for CFL bulbs. I was wondering if they take the F40CW T12 tubes.

Hi Mike,

Color - 4K
Lumens 3200

And if you are a vet you get 10% off of that too.
These fixtures are replacing two tube F40CW T12 fixtures
What's this about HD recycling fluorescent bulbs?
N2TK, Tony

Tony,
Would you have the part number for the Home Depot 4" foot LED fixture? I want
to replace the fixtures in my basement.
I guess the Home depot can recycle my old fluorescent bulbs.
Thanks,
Mike N2MS

An easy fix, at least for me was to replace the entire fixture with a Home
Depot 4' Led fixture for $40. It puts out more light than the existing two 40W
tube fluorescent fixtures. And no problem putting out bright light in my garage
in cold winter where the standard fluorescent fixtures were very dim.
I have not detected any RF noise in the shack from the Led fixtures.
Anyone want 16 used fluorescent fixtures? :-) 73, N2TK, Tony
