Andrew -- Glad to hear there is at least one other person in the nation we
could beg parts from should we blow through our stock!

Steve L. -- And to be fair, the clocked outdoor temperatures have only
gotten up to 111° F so far, but the down lights are hanging from the
"heavens" which is a somewhat enclosed space and feels at least 10° hotter.
Also with the way temperatures have continued (and will continue) to climb,
it seems wise to have a larger heat range. If such things are available.
