Rewiring depends on location of lights.  The Costco lights are supposed to last 45 years - remember to save your receipt (smile).  The box says 47.27" long.  Since they can just plug in, I am going to rig one up for starting plants.  People will probably think I have a pot grow.  I forgot to check the box to see if it makes a statement on the lumens.

I agree, Colleen - the amount of light from these bulbs is much brighter than the old fluorescent ones.  Supposedly, they also lose brightness over time, but hopefully not as fast as the f ones.

I won't buy new fixtures - prefer to re-wire these as the ballasts fail. 
  Or when I run out of new fluorescent tubes ;-)  Re-wiring turns out to be very easy to do, tho getting one of the fixtures apart was a challenge.  Two more broken ones to re-wire, but I ran out of little wiring twisty thingies.

Are those 48" fixtures with two bulbs from Costco?  If so, that's very reasonable.
