Flood light housing

[LarryDrumAZ]

I have 4 RGB floods that fit perfectly into the 500 watt flood light (work light) housings.  4 years ago when I bought the 1st 4, they were pretty cheap.  Now I can't find any for less than $20.  Anyone know of a retailer that sells then cheaper?

I bought 11 of these for $12.98, they work great for what I need:

Cool, thanks!

I was going to recommend Northern Tool, but the Lowe's one is identical at $2 less.  I do know that the Northern Tool ones go on sale occasionally, but don't remember the price.

You can make one pretty cheap and they work well. I did it with a plastic flower pot and a florescent light diffuser material. THe How-To is on my website.

 

You can get square planters as well if your flood is rectangular.

That is a really cool idea!  I love this hobby.
