LAMPS, SOCKETS & WIRING

Turn your garage into Rick’s Cafe in Casablanca with this easy-to-install adjustable three-arm ceiling/task light that shines a stunning 6,000 lumens into garages, workshops, closets and storerooms.

We sold out twice but the lights are now back in stock! Get yours today.

And you can too, with this 18-foot length of solar-recharging indoor/outdoor rope light.

In off-white plastic, it measures 4-3/4" x 3-1/8" x 1-1/4" thick, with the outlets on the long sides. The plugs run in the same direction, along the long axis.

Great for behind furniture, TVs, etc. UL.

Our 200-lumen COB LED work light lets you get your projects done at any wee hour of the morning or night.

Has (3) modes: 100%, 50% and strobing, and requires (3) AAA batteries, not included. But look at that price, you know?

Da Mare could use this to point out cracks in the infrastructure at Wrigley Field. You, having a forgiving nature, will resist the urge to point out cracks in da mayor's infrastructure. You will, of course, use it to point out chimney cracks to the tuck-pointer, a cracked limb to the tree-trimmer, and the crack in your profit picture during a slide presentation. You can do all that and much, much more with the bright light from this 5mW green laser pointer. It's an unbelievable tool. If you need a laser pointer that seems to go on forever and is so strong that you can actually see the beam in the dark, it will be the best low-cost investment you ever made. Or the coolest high-end toy. The 532nm Class IIIa light is 5-5/8" long x 1/2" dia, with (2) "AAA" batteries (not included), a momentary-on switch, pocket clip. (Sorry case not included).

We don't like to brag, but it's tough not to in a case like this. This is a wonderful pen-shaped laser pointer, 5-1/4" long, flat black or silver with gold pocket clip and head. It throws a red point a loong way (we've thrown it two city blocks at night, and it would've gone farther, but buildings got in the way). And what are we so proud of? We've seen a very similar item-not identical, mind you, but essentially the same-in one of those glossy, toys-for-grown-men catalogs. Their price? $20! We're proud not to be profit-mongers, buy it here and you can take pride in your smart shopping habits. (2) AAA Batteries are not included.

Our most reversible double-axle split and swiveling lantern work-light. Hard to explain, but incredibly handy.

Has (2) modes, a weather-resistant 5-1/2" x 4" x 1-1/2" housing with rubber corners, a ratcheting handle/stand, (4) embedded disc magnets and (3) AA batteries for power.

Think Tinkerbell after you clap. This 17-foot string of teensy yellowish-white LEDs are labeled “Soft Glow,” but they seem mighty bright to us. Smaller than a grain of rice and on a bendable wire, they're powered by a USB or a pair of AA batteries (included). Like their big brother LED sets, but much more delicate. We're thinking around windows, shelves, plants, wreaths, small Christmas trees (or trees on any sort), table centerpieces, hats, or even special hairdos.

The base of this micro-fiber-optic light is a 1-5/8" high plastic cone in red, green or blue. The tips of the super-thin, 7-1/2" long fiber optics are the color in the cone and flare out in a bouncy spray approx 8" across at the top. We'll pick a color just for you. The Hint-o-Matic says: "Nice on any surface, but worthy of a royal wedding when glued on top of a hat. Just cut a hole in the hat to get to the switch." The (3) button-cell batteries are included and replaceable.

Comes without a plug but with 15” leads ready to be hardwired into a 12VDC source. Intended for wall or ceiling mounting, the (15) white LEDs inside the green cover will flash and are dome top facing and the base has (2) screw-mount holes, but if green's not your color, the plastic dome unscrews so you can easily repurpose it for your own DIY use.
