I've heard there's some cheap lights you can get at Home Depot. What are they called, what should I look for, how much are they?

Look for Lights of America in the Outdoor Lighting section. They have some power compacts that are 6700K and all you need to decide is wattage. The one I got ran $30 and I already had a plug to wire it too. (I have annother if you need one)

I have used the same one that Cortney does and I liked it.

The one that I got also had a photo sensor but it came with a black plug that you could replace the clear one with.
