    Who builds this crap? I decided it was time to replace the bulbs in this light fixture I bought from a craigslister. Bolts were rusted and the plastic end pieces started to fall apart! Doesn't look like the engineers consider serviceability in the design.

    Anyhow, anyone know where I can find replacement screws that don't rust? Also a replacement end piece that is aluminum rather than thin plastic. And if Im SOL, what would make a good 48" light setup that is also easy to maintain.

    Thanks
