Replacement ceiling light dome cover is more expensive than buying the entire light!?

[JEDI]

so I dropped and broke the dome cover while changing a light bulb.

went to home depot.

8" replacement dome cover = $12.
new light (including dome cover) = $10.

That's a really ugly light - breaking the dome was doing it a favor really...

Well you know what to do - buy the whole light, use the dome, save the rest of the parts for spares in case a socket goes bad or something.

My thinking too. Unless this needs to match others in the same room it might be an opportunity to get something different. Then again, it is cheap.
