Hood that's very hardy?

[secuono]

I need a cheap 4ft 2 bulb, 80watt+ light hood. It needs to be hardy, water won't kill it and daily wiggling/moving won't break it!
I have been using regular shop lights and they can last, but others just keep breaking! They cost $10 and I just return the broken ones and get a new one every few months.
The new hood can't cost more than $50, maybe $70. Any more is ridiculous.

For the price you are willing to pay I would say shop lights are about it.

The only ones I see are all over $130 for the size and 2 bulbs, it's insane. It's just light, it shouldn't cost so much.

Nope it shouldn't cost that much but that is the name of the game in this hobby Are you any good at DIY? You could try something from AH supply.

I'm wondering if I get a long glass panel and set it in the frame to cover the water, would that help the hood last longer? Also wanted to get those little metal bookshelf L bracket things..lol. And then hang the light from that...but they don't stick out far enough to do that....
I am, but rather not mess with electrics.

The one I usually buy is just like that, but no grid or pull cord for $10.
