That's more like $20 with the shipping. I've seen similar lights in the past at Wally and Lowes for $10, with option to hardwire or use batteries.

thanks pete....
Looked all over wally's and couldn't find them but will try lowes to see if it's there..... i like the idea of battery or hardwire

I bought a great 12v flourescent lamp off eBay from a young man who found a warehouse of them. You can also buy them from him direct. Not battery operated, but a good buy for a good light. Here's the post where I passed on my info.

thanks for the info..... i like the idea of two bulbs that can be turned on one or both.

I can't speak for Derek's pricing now, but I paid $15 including shipping for mine. I particularly wanted the option of one light or two over the dinette for romantic dinners or hobby stuff.

bought something like that at ikea in toronto. don't remember the price. it was a plug in to an outlet type.
