    Q:Will these LED replacement bulbs work in 8 ft. T12 fixtures ? They say 8 ft. T8 fixtures. Bulb diameter (1.5" to 1.0") should be the only difference.

      Q:Before I replace all my florescents with these LED's, I'm more interested in how long they are lasting for the many who have replaced them in the past years. They say 5 year warranty. But do they last 5 years ? Many reviews of bad lights from the start.

                  Q:Are these safe plastic exterior and not glass

                  Answer This Question

                  A:  They are plastic but still fragile. They can easily break and alot come broken at the store. You really need to look at the whole tube before you buy it. Got one set home and one was already cracked. Also had two out of four that only lit up half of the tube. I got replacements and am good to go now.

                    A:  Thank you for the inquiry. This lamp is glass but they are PET coated to help contain the glass in the event of breakage.

                      Q:A question for the HALCO Rep. Will these LED bulbs NOT interfere with a garage door opener functionality? I plan to put these in three existing 2-bulb fixtures in my garage. Thanks.
