That's not just "reclaimed" it's in danger of snapping because it was poorly built.

Go to a "real" electric supply house, the ones available at the home centers don't have the brightness needed

Again, yeah, but using what ?? Depends on the surface, right? The first time I did it on a brick wall I didn't know about fitches...
