About a week ago, INCase had a glass barn light cover that was apparently stuck and couldn't be removed. I've ran into the same problem. After they've been on for ten or more years the glass can be real hard to remove. Anyhow - I didn't want to hijack his post, so here today is a picture of a simple protected barn light that I have made. My wife donates the wide mouth canning jar, sealing flat and ring, and they are mounted on an octagon box cover. The porcelain light sockets are salvaged from old buildings that I have torn down. The electrical terminals are exposed on those old bulb sockets, but they are covered by the fruit jar. There might be a dozen of these mounted in the old buildings around here. They are NOT UL approved!
