Getting ready to make a better enclosure

[ConcinusMan]

Depends on the time of year and other factors. Right now, deals aren't all that great on the fixtures but I found a 5.5 inch (75 watt max) for 14 bucks, including shipping. That's still way better deal than any store around here, plus they add 8 percent sales tax in the stores but not online. Right after Christmas, the prices online will drop like a rock. They did for the last two years in a row. Last Dec after Christmas I bought a 5.5 inch for 10 bucks and some change, delivered and that kind of deal was common at that time. They need to unload inventory to save them from having to pay inventory tax on it for the second time, come new year.

Right now ebay: TWO 8.5 inch flukers lamps for $32 delivered. Not bad.

How about all of this for $10.99? The bargains are out there. You just have to know where to look and keep digging/checking back.
