I have them on both my sumps. Home Depot should have them. They are made by Commercial Electric.

I used some 45-watt units (45 ACTUAL watts) from lights of america, but they went fizzz-BANG! with regularity, so I gave up on them. Granted, Lights of America is a pretty cheap, low-quality brand, others may hold up better. Definitely keep salt spray out of them.
