Title: ARCHIVED FOR INFO - AEL or Thomas-and-Betts 18w LPS SOX wallpacks
Post by: lights*plus on May 11, 2020, 07:42:16 PM: So @ $145 USD, with FREE US shipping, why haven't LG members bought any of these 18w wallpacks (https://www.ebay.com/itm/303460817272) (or have you?)? Too costly? Wrong description? No lamp?

I'm actually not being funny. I need to sell something very similar w/SOX lamp included.

(Admin edit - Listing has ended but info can still be seen)

I actually purchased one of these several years back. Probably from a different seller though. They were cheap. Way less than this seller wants for them. This was before I realized how amazing SOX is though and I stupidly did not keep the fixture. All I kept from it was the lamp it included. Now I can't get enough SOX. I love it.

Post by: lights*plus on May 12, 2020, 11:16:16 PM: Ok thanks for the input. I find it helpful. Canadian buyers are at such a disadvantage when buying in USD...if the exchange rate doesn't kill you the global shipping thing does.

I should mention that every SOX fixture I've put up on ebay has sold rather quickly, and at my buy-it-now price without offers.

Post by: joseph_125 on May 13, 2020, 12:42:42 AM: Yeah for me personally, the triple whammy of USD conversion, extra shipping costs and import taxes is a real drag when I see a item posted here for a good price. For that reason, I always preferred getting my lighting stuff locally or from Canadian sellers.

Post by: takemorepills on May 14, 2020, 12:58:19 AM: I just recently bought a 35/55w SOX wall pack on eBay, including bulb, NOS for just a smidge more than these 18w no bulb units.

I had to, the larger wattage plus being a wall pack, I didn't mind paying what I did ($160 shipped)

It's my 1st and only SOX fixture.

Post by: joseph_125 on May 16, 2020, 07:49:36 PM: I believe this (http://www.northstarlightingsite.com/CutSheets/Sox-Lite.pdf) is the data sheet for it. Cover is polycarbonate.
