I have a 4" round box with a porcelain (with key) hanging on a wall. The lamp is protected with a plastic cage.

This light gets banged all the time (even with the cage). HO is tired of replacing the lamp and/or cage when broken.

The room is a storage area for seasonal items - clothes, decorations. Basically a "Dog House" off the main attic area. Ceiling height is 6' at best with the light at 5'.

I was thinking of a Vapor Proof Light (cutting in a switch box) but think that's overkill.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

BTW - HO is Mom.

How do you break the cage with clothing???? I like these fixtures for closets. Made by EPCO

The lamp breaks more than the cage. Again it's a storage area. Tight space with boxes of stuff. More often than not, it's broken by a box.

Econolight has nice little LED canopy light that might work for you.

You would actual install that in someones home? Why would you need a outdoor fixture indoors?

I was just giving an option. It is cheap, small, LED and very vibration resistant. He could spend a couple hours screwing around with other stuff or spend $75 and install this in like 10 minutes. It was in a storage space right?

 

[duque00]

Yes a storage space. Thanks for the suggestion.

good luck with the homeowner finding a replacement lamp for those

that's the reason I have never installed any

use the vapor proof light and add a pullchain to it. easy enough to do.

and don't call your mom a HO, that's disrespectful:jester:

Thanks Drspec - she calls herself that! :thumbsup:

Line voltage puck light? - http://www.lowes.com/pd_366547-5302...duct_price|0&Ntt=puck+light&page=1&facetInfo=

I guess it depends on how big the room is and how bright a 20 watt G8 Xenon bulb is

Are those good? Any problems with them failing out of box or right after?

I've been meaning to try them and I think I have the perfect spot for a few.
