    Any home improvement place will have it. They use it as a light deflector in florescent fixtures. Get the white not the clear.

    Sweet you are on your way. When you get that sump done it will feel good to have done a DIY and have it work.

    Don't call it eggcrate at home depot. They will tell you they don't have it cause they have no idea what it is and they're too lazy to try and learn about it.

    It's called light diffuser. And it's normally kept with the drop ceiling supplies like ceiling tiles and the like. Usually not the electrical department.

    Good luck.
